Ravens QB Lamar Jackson back at practice, Week 8 status TBD

Baltimore Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson returned to practice on Wednesday, but good luck getting head coach John Harbaugh to discuss his status for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears.

Harbaugh said he had nothing to share specific to the injury or regarding the chances of the Ravens having him in the lineup on Sunday.

Jackson's participation was a first since injuring his hamstring in Baltimore's 37-20 road loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sept. 28.

Harbaugh said he sensed more energy from the team with Jackson on the practice field.

"Of course, I think the energy level changes. Heck yeah. Lamar is our quarterback," Harbaugh said. "Our guys responded with great energy."

Jackson was limited with his practice primarily consisting of stretching and some flat-footed throws. He embraced offensive coordinator Todd Monken as he reached the practice field before the workout.

Quarterbacks Cooper Rush and Tyler Huntley worked in team drills while Jackson largely had an individual workout.

Rush started each of the last two games for the Ravens (1-5), who will return from their bye with a third consecutive home game, welcoming the Bears (4-2) on Sunday.

Jackson, 28, threw a league-leading 10 touchdown passes and posted a 130.5 passer rating in his four starts. The Ravens averaged 32.8 points per game in those starts, but they have managed a total of 13 points in the two contests since the two-time NFL MVP went to the sidelines.
