Final Ravens Week 9 injury report puts week-long speculation to rest

The Baltimore Ravens are deep in the AFC playoff hunt, and as we head into their matchup with the Denver Broncos, Lamar Jackson is back at practice after missing two days. Let’s be real, Jackson was never missing this game.

The Ravens have had a rollercoaster season. At their best, they’ve looked unstoppable; at their worst, they’ve seemed lost and inconsistent. Last week’s loss to the Browns felt like a wake-up call. Cleveland exposed weaknesses in Baltimore’s pass defense, and the pass rush once again struggled to bring consistent pressure.

But Baltimore’s offense? It’s been electric. Lamar Jackson is playing at a new level, showing vision and poise that make him a constant threat to defenses. Keep this up, and Jackson could be headed for MVP number three. Then there’s Derrick Henry, who’s bulldozing his way through the league, leading in rushing yards and touchdowns, and putting defenders on their backs weekly. Add in new weapon Diontae Johnson, and the Ravens’ offense is as dangerous as ever.

They’ll need every bit of that firepower against a tough Denver defense at M&T Bank Stadium this Sunday. It’s shaping up to be a battle, and while speculation swirled this week with key players missing practice, Jackson’s return to the field is a major boost.

With a fully stocked offense, the Ravens will look to bring their A-game and keep their playoff momentum rolling.

Updated Ravens injury report for Week 9 against the Denver Broncos

We can finally remove the sweatbands, as sweating out Lamar Jackson's back & knee concerns has officially ended. The league's most electric player is back, healthy, and will play on Sunday.

With Action Jackson back on the field, few players missed practice for the Ravens. Here’s a breakdown of everyone who didn’t participate or was limited in practice.

Did not participate:

• DE - Brent Urban (concussion)
• CB - Jalyn Armour-Davis (knee)
• DT - Michael Pierce, placed on IR (calf)

Limited participation:

• CB - Marlon Humphrey (knee)
• RB - Rasheen Ali (ankle)
• DT - Travis Jones (ankle)

It was good to see two defensive linemen return to practice today. Travis Jones and Broderick Washington participated but didn't look fully healthy. Even though they aren't perfectly healthy, it's good to see them back on the practice field because Nnamdi Madubuike was the only DL healthy as of yesterday.

Oh, how quickly this week spiraled into wild speculation over Lamar Jackson’s absence. But with Jackson back in practice and healthy, the Ravens are ready to roll. They’ll need him to keep steering the league’s most explosive offense as they face the 5-3 Denver Broncos, whose defense is anything but a pushover.
