Quick Summary

Lamar Jackson is set to start for the Baltimore Ravens against the Buffalo Bills after fully participating in practice despite a high ankle sprain that had sidelined him for three games. Though he reports some lingering pain, Jackson believes it won't affect his performance on game day. With the team struggling during his absence—going 1-2 and losing back-to-back divisional matchups—Jackson’s return is expected to strengthen an offense that faltered in the second half of last week's loss to the Bengals. The Bills’ defense, which has allowed an average of 28.5 points per game this season, presents a potential opportunity for Jackson to make an impact.
