Quarterback Lamar Jackson returned to training camp practice at the Under Armour Performance Center in Owings Mills, Md., on Saturday after missing several days due to an undisclosed illness.
Jackson, the NFL's reigning MVP, had missed four of the first five practices at training camp. He briefly participated on Wednesday but departed after only an hour.
In his return Saturday, Jackson received boisterous cheers from several youth football players in attendance at the Ravens practice. Jackson waved to the group and caught a pass after finishing his warmup.
"It's just unpredictable. I mean, you guys have been sick before, and sometimes it's not easy. So, that's what we're dealing with," head coach John Harbaugh said on Friday.
Jackson, 27, passed for 3,678 yards and 24 touchdowns and rushed for 821 yards and five touchdowns in 16 starts last season (13-3 record) to win his second MVP trophy (2019).
Baltimore opens preseason play Aug. 9 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Jackson hasn't played in a preseason game since 2021, when he completed 3 of 4 pass attempts.
