ExtremeRavens Posted yesterday at 06:14 PM Posted yesterday at 06:14 PM The Ravens are healthy, for a change. Tuesday afternoon’s practice in Owings Mills, the last before traveling to Miami for a Thursday night matchup against the Dolphins, was a far cry from the hefty injury reports that have plagued Baltimore this season. For the first time this season, all 53 players on the active roster suited up, including the head of the snake, quarterback Lamar Jackson. Jackson hasn’t played since Week 4 when a hamstring injury sidelined him in a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sept. 28. Cooper Rush lost twice as his replacement then Tyler Huntley led a win over the Bears. The 2-5 Ravens should return their two-time Most Valuable quarterback for another must-win, can’t lose game. “I’m ready to go,” Jackson said Tuesday. He didn’t offer specifics on whether the injury occurred from a single play or built up over time. Trainers told him it would be a few weeks. Jackson said he feels 100% and doesn’t expect needing time to shed any rust. “That’s what practice is for,” he said. Jackson wasn’t eager to speak in great detail about his hamstring beyond that. “That’s in the past,” he said. “I don’t want to keep talking about that.” His eyes are pointed toward the “do-or-die” nature of the rest of Baltimore’s season. Coach John Harbaugh did have one unfortunate injury update. Defensive tackle Broderick Washington, who has been on injured reserve for an ankle injury since late-September, will undergo surgery. Harbaugh said it “came out of the blue” and couldn’t offer any further details. Asked if the surgery would end Washington’s season, Harbaugh said “I’ll have more information soon.” There were a few new names added to Monday’s injury report, which was merely an estimation for a walk-through practice. Veteran left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle), rookie linebacker Teddye Buchanan (calf), cornerback Nate Wiggins (groin) and cornerback T.J. Tampa (shoulder) were each listed as limited participants. All four practiced on Tuesday. As a result of a defensive line downtrodden by injury — Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) is ruled out for the year, Tavius Robinson (foot) was placed on injured reserve and Washington’s prolonged absence — Baltimore signed veteran pass rusher Carl Lawson. Harbaugh said it’s possible Lawson is ready to be elevated from the practice squad in time for Thursday. “We were just talking to him about learning the defense,” Harbaugh said. “He felt like he was picking it up quickly and appreciated the way it’s organized. He thought it was something he could learn well. That decision hasn’t been made quite yet. That’s something that we’re still talking about.” This article will be updated. Have a news tip?
