Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was seen participating in practice on Thursday, according to a report from Underdog NFL citing a post by Cordell Woodland. Jackson is currently listed as questionable with an undisclosed injury.
What happened
The report indicates Jackson was on the field for Thursday’s practice session. He has been dealing with a back issue, according to Underdog NFL’s post.
The Ravens have not made an official announcement about Jackson’s status for Week 4. His participation in practice is a positive signal, but his availability remains uncertain.
Context
Jackson has played every offensive snap for Baltimore through the first three weeks of the 2026 season, per Sleeper data. He has thrown for 745 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception while adding 124 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown.
In Week 3, Jackson threw for 186 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 50 yards. He is the clear QB1 on the Ravens’ depth chart.
What’s next
The Ravens will likely provide an official injury report on Friday. Fantasy managers should monitor Jackson’s practice participation and game status leading up to Sunday.

🏈 Fantasy impact
Jackson’s presence at practice Thursday is encouraging, but the questionable tag makes him a game-time decision risk. If he practices fully on Friday, managers can start him as a top-5 QB. If he is limited or downgraded, have a backup plan ready, as Baltimore has no obvious high-upside handcuff. Jackson’s dual-threat ability gives him week-winning upside whenever he is active, so track reports closely before locking lineups.
