Lamar Jackson missed Friday’s practice due to illness. John Harbaugh said Jackson will start Sunday against the Panthers.

Jackson's absence from Friday's practice seemed fishy after he was a full-go the rest of the week, but thankfully, he was just feeling under the weather. He should have a cushy matchup against Carolina in Week 11 and is currently ranked as 4for4's QB2.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was absent during the media viewing portion of Friday’s practice. He was a full participant in practice past two days. TE Mark Andrews (shoulder/knee) was present, running and catching passes during the early portion.

We'll keep a close eye on Lamar's status, but this could easily just be a rest day. As for Andrews, it sounds like he will be a full go against the Panthers this weekend.

Ravens’ QB Lamar Jackson was limited at practice today due to a hip injury and TE Mark Andrews did not practice due to a knee injury.

It's worth keeping an eye on both of these players as the week progresses, but other reports suggested that Andrews's DNP was a rest day. We'll hopefully know more about both players on Thursday.

Rashod Bateman —who was not on Thursday's injury report— did not participate in the Ravens' final practice of the week.

If Bateman's sudden appearance on the DNP injury report keeps him out or limited during Week 3's romp with the Patriots, Lamar Jackson will have exactly one reliable pass-catcher, Mark Andrews. Despite the team's lackluster receiver corps, Jackson ranks second in the league with 9.0 yards per attempt, though Bateman's 27.8 yards/reception is assuredly helping the quarterback's numbers.

RB J.K. Dobbins

Reports said Dobbins was close to playing in Week 2 but the Ravens played it safe. He seems to have a great chance to play in Week 3, but he could also be on a pitch count for his first game back. Owners will want to keep an eye on this through the week.

Imagine Lamar Jackson will be asked about this during his press availability after practice, but he was wearing a sleeve on his right arm.

On top of that, Zrebiec said Jackson didn't seem to be doing his usual amount of throwing early in practice. He did add the media can only watch a small portion of practice. So, this could be nothing, but it's certainly worth monitoring.

Earlier this week, Lamar Jackson had made today (Friday) a bit of an ultimatum to sign an extension but there is no indication that he will choose to hold out otherwise.

Lamar Jackson, during a contract year, could really be something else to watch. The team could reserve the right to franchise tag him in 2023, but one would assume they come to an agreement if Jackson has an explosive 2019-level season.

Quarterback Lamar Jackson or tight end Mark Andrews certainly could have qualified for this spot, but Rashod Bateman has flashed throughout training camp, showing off the skill set that Baltimore was so intrigued by when they selected him at No. 27 overall in the 2021 NFL draft.

According to the story, Bateman has shown off a strong connection with Jackson, catching almost everything that’s been thrown his way. He’s expected to take a massive jump in Year 2 with the departure of Marquise Brown, and early on at training camp he’s showing why. The Ravens are expected to be run-heavy, but outside of Andrews, Bateman should see his share of targets.

Lamar Jackson has practiced the past three days with the rookies.

Despite the lack of a long-term deal, the expectation is Jackson will practice for Wednesday’s first full-team practice, Hensley went on to say. He added there have been instances where players have not participated in camp due to contract issues.
