Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is officially set to hit the field this Sunday against the Bills, a huge return after sitting out Baltimore’s last three games with a high ankle sprain. This ain’t just any return, either. Bills head coach Joe Brady is already telling reporters he’s not expecting a limited version of the two-time MVP, not even a little bit.
Brady made it clear in his Friday press conference, stating, “I’m sure he’s good to go.” Look, we all know how brutal the NFL season is, and Brady ain’t naive about it. He added, “No one is perfectly healthy at this time in the NFL.” But here’s the kicker, the part that’s got everyone buzzing: “We know we’re going to get the best version of Lamar Jackson, and it’s going to make for good football.” That’s a bold claim, especially with Jackson coming off an injury. You gotta respect the confidence, or maybe it’s just mind games.
Jackson’s history against the Bills is pretty balanced, going 3-2 in their five regular season matchups. He’s dropped 678 passing yards on them with eight touchdowns against three interceptions, completing 67 percent of his throws. Plus, he’s a beast on the ground, racking up 276 rushing yards and two scores on 41 carries. This season alone, before the injury, Jackson was absolutely slinging it, completing 70.8 percent of his passes for 967 yards, six touchdowns, and just one pick through four games.
So, when Sunday rolls around, the league is gonna be watching. Can Jackson really deliver the “best version” of himself after missing three weeks? If Brady’s right, we’re in for some seriously “good football,” and you know we’ll be glued to the screen to see it.
