Lamar Jackson Returns to Ravens Practice After Illness

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson made a notable return to practice on Saturday after being sidelined due to an illness. Jackson had only participated in one practice since the start of training camp last weekend and was unable to finish that session on Wednesday. His comeback was welcomed by the team, with head coach John Harbaugh praising his performance and energy levels. Harbaugh expressed satisfaction with Jackson's return, stating, “I thought he did really well, especially considering the fact that he’s had to come back from being sick.” The coach highlighted Jackson's ability to quickly regain his form, which is crucial as the team prepares for the upcoming season. In addition to Jackson's return, the Ravens faced some challenges during practice. Cornerback Trayvon Mullen sustained an injury after falling on his shoulder, raising concerns about his availability moving forward. Meanwhile, rookie wide receiver Zay Flowers was excused from practice to attend a wedding, indicating the personal commitments players must balance alongside their professional responsibilities. As the Ravens continue their preparations, Jackson's health and performance will be pivotal for the team's success. His return to practice is a positive sign for fans and teammates alike, as they look to build momentum heading into the season.
