Ravens Coach Harbaugh Expresses Confidence in Lamar Jackson's Return to Starting Lineup Against Dolphins on Thursday Night
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who has been dealing with a right hamstring injury, is expected to return from the sidelines and start this Thursday night's game against the Miami Dolphins. According to coach John Harbaugh, he feels very confident about Jackson's recovery and full participation in Monday's walkthrough.
Harbaugh praised Jackson's performance during the team's practice session on Monday, stating that it was a great walkthrough for him, with the quarterback looking "great." This news comes as a welcome relief for the Ravens, who have struggled without their star player, going 2-5 so far this season.
Since becoming the starting quarterback in 2018, Jackson has led the team to remarkable success, boasting a record of 74-32 (.698), including playoffs. Without him, the Ravens have been struggling, with a win-loss record of 5-12 (.294).
Jackson's injury occurred on September 28, when he left the game against the Kansas City Chiefs in the third quarter due to a hamstring strain. He returned to practice last week but was initially listed as a full participant before being downgraded to limited the following day, which raised concerns about his availability.
However, Harbaugh assured that it was an "honest mistake" and that the team's intentions were genuine when they declared Jackson out of practice. The coach also revealed that he had not spoken with NFL officials regarding the matter and did not know whether the league would take any action.
This week's matchup against the Dolphins could be a pivotal moment for the Ravens, who are looking to break their four-game losing streak. With Jackson back in the lineup, they will undoubtedly be a more formidable opponent, as he is known for his exceptional big-play ability. The team has won two of its last three games under Jackson's guidance, including a 30-16 victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
As the Ravens prepare to face off against the Dolphins on Thursday night, fans are eagerly awaiting Jackson's return and the potential impact it will have on the team's performance.
