Lamar Jackson's Return Uncertain Ahead of Week 8 Matchup

As the Baltimore Ravens prepare for their Week 8 game against the Buffalo Bills, the status of starting quarterback Lamar Jackson remains uncertain due to a high-ankle sprain.

Jackson was initially expected to play in the previous game against the Cincinnati Bengals but was downgraded to out on Saturday. Head coach Jesse Minter indicated that Jackson is making efforts to return, having participated in some practice activities last week. Minter stated that more clarity on Jackson's condition will come with the injury report on Wednesday.

Despite some reports suggesting surprise at Jackson's absence from the last game, Minter clarified that the situation was somewhat mischaracterized. He emphasized that the team would assess Jackson's health closely before making a decision on his participation.
