The Baltimore Ravens will be looking to extend their winning streak to five games in Week 12, as they’ve gotten back into the thick of the AFC North division race. Moreover, John Harbaugh and his team are up against a beatable opponent in the New York Jets.
Nonetheless, the Jets have won two of their last three games, so New York does have some confidence despite its 2025 season not going as planned.
Ravens Get Good News on Lamar Jackson
While the Ravens won’t take the Jets lightly, the good news is that Lamar Jackson will be ready to go for Week 12.
Jackson, who currently ranks 10th in PFSN’s Quarterback Impact (QBi), has been dealing with an ankle injury that kept him out of practice on Wednesday.
However, on Thursday, the Baltimore signal caller was a full participant.

Baltimore appears to be taking a cautious approach with Jackson, knowing that they are back in a playoff race and that their hopes depend on him being ready to go on game day.
“It’s just part of football, I guess, but I’m good,” Jackson said (h/t BaltimoreRavens.com). “This is my first time dealing with something like this, while I’m playing, at that. We have great trainers and stuff like that. Our staff is good. So, like I said, I’m good.”
While it can largely be attributed to the Cleveland Browns’ defense, Jackson didn’t have a good game in Week 11, even though the Browns came away with the win. The Ravens star went 14-for-25 for 193 yards with two interceptions, and he was also sacked five times.
The Jets don’t have as fearsome a defense as the Browns, so that should result in a sigh of relief for Jackson as he looks to have a bounce-back performance.
It will be interesting to see if the Ravens’ quarterback looks like his old self or if his ankle injury limits him in any way, preventing him from making the usual all-around impact.
Ravens Welcomed Back More Players to Practice
Six Ravens returned to practice Thursday after being listed on Wednesday’s injury report. Safety Kyle Hamilton (shoulder/groin), linebacker Roquan Smith (hamstring), offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley (illness), guard Andrew Vorhees (foot), and tight end Isaiah Likely (calf) all took part.
Hamilton, Smith, Vorhees, and Likely were limited in their participation, while Stanley practiced fully. Cornerback Marlon Humphrey (finger) moved from limited to full participation, suggesting he should be ready for Sunday’s matchup against the Jets.
Wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) and cornerback Keyon Martin (rib) remained absent from practice.
