Coach John Harbaugh said Friday that Jackson (ankle) is poised to play Sunday versus the Steelers, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Whether or not Jackson will enter the weekend with a designation remains to be seen, but Harbaugh's comments indicate the franchise quarterback will continue to play through the pain. Jackson was limited Wednesday and didn't practice Thursday due to an ankle issue, but he was able to mix back into drills Friday, so he either will be listed as questionable or cleared entirely on the Ravens' final Week 14 injury report.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Back at practice
Rotowire
Jackson (ankle) returned to practice Friday, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
After opening Week 14 prep as limited due to an ankle issue, Jackson didn't practice Thursday, but offensive coordinator Todd Monken told Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com afterward that he expected him to be under center Sunday against the Steelers. Jackson may need to practice in full Friday in order to avoid a designation for Week 14, something that will become known once the Ravens post their last injury report of the week.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Expected to play Sunday
Rotowire
Offensive coordinator Todd Monken said Thursday that he expects Jackson (ankle) to play Sunday against the Steelers, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
After being limited Wednesday by an ankle injury, Jackson didn't practice Thursday, which sets the stage for what the star QB does Friday to loom large in terms of his Week 14 status. A return to practice, in any capacity, would put Jackson on track to be available this weekend, but if ends up sidelined, Tyler Huntley and Cooper Rush are next in line for the Ravens' signal-caller reps.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Doesn't practice Thursday
Rotowire
Jackson (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.
After being listed as a DNP on the first Ravens' injury report from Weeks 11 through 13, Jackson was limited this Wednesday due to an ankle issue, but falling back to no activity one day later now means he won't get a full week of on-field work ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers. Ultimately, Friday's practice report will reveal if he has a designation or is cleared entirely for Week 14 action.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Limited practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Jackson (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday.
Jackson logged a DNP each of the past three Wednesdays as he managed knee, ankle and toe injuries. This time around, the star QB practiced in a limited fashion, with his ankle being cited as the issue for his listing. At this stage there's nothing to suggest that Jackson is in any danger of missing Sunday's game against the Steelers, a notion that would be confirmed if he practices fully by Friday.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Three turnovers in ugly loss
Rotowire
Jackson completed 17 of 32 passes for 246 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while adding six rushes for 27 yards in the Ravens' 32-14 loss to the Bengals on Thursday night. He also committed two fumbles, losing both.
The combination of Jackson's final line and the game's final score underscore the fact he wasn't able to offset his multiple mistakes with enough big plays. The two-time MVP saw more than half his completions (nine) and 142 of his passing yards go to the tight-end duo of Isaiah Likely and Mark Andrews, and two of his three turnovers led to a combined six points for Cincinnati. Jackson's passing yardage was his highest since Week 3, but he was clearly outplayed by Joe Burrow in the latter's return from a nine-game absence. The Ravens next face another divisional test at home, as the Steelers pay a visit for a Week 14 clash on Sunday, Dec. 7.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Full practice Tuesday
Rotowire
Jackson (toe) was a full participant at practice Tuesday.
Jackson was deemed a non-participant in the team's walkthrough Monday due to a toe issue, which he revealed that he sustained in the first quarter of Sunday's 23-10 win over the Jets, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. He clarified Tuesday that his toe is feeling good heading into Thursday's game against the Bengals, with head coach John Harbaugh echoing the quarterback's assessment. Though Jackson isn't expected to face any limitations while taking aim at a vulnerable Cincinnati defense, the two-time league MVP hasn't resembled his dominant self of late. Despite leading the Ravens to wins in his last three starts, Jackson has accounted for just 57 rushing yards while completing 44 of 77 pass attempts (57.1 percent) for 522 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during that stretch.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Present at practice Tuesday
Rotowire
Jackson (toe) returned to practice Tuesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Jackson was estimated as a DNP on Monday's practice report, but he doesn't appear to be in serious danger of missing Thursday night's game against the Bengals. The QB is looking to bust a three-game slump -- he's averaged 174 passing yards per game with a 1:2 TD:INT mark over the last three weeks -- in a juicy matchup against Cincinnati's league-worst defense.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Non-participant on practice estimate
Rotowire
Jackson was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate due to a toe issue, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
In Week 11, knee soreness led to a Wednesday 'DNP' for Jackson, while in Week 12 an ankle issue was cited for the QB's absence that Wednesday. This time around, Jackson is listed with a toe injury, but at this stage there's nothing to suggest that his status for Thursday's game against the Bengals is in any danger. Tuesday's injury report will provide further context on that front, but it's worth noting that each of the last two weeks Jackson practiced fully both Thursday and Friday.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Ready for Week 12
Rotowire
Jackson (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Jets, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.
Jackson hasn't been a stranger to the injury report this season, and this week was no different when he didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle issue. After ending it with back-to-back full sessions, though, he's in the clear for Week 12 action. He'll be working without WR Rashod Bateman (ankle) on Sunday, but Jackson will be facing a Jets defense that has allowed the ninth-most TD passes (18) to opposing QBs in 10 contests.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Back at practice Thursday
Rotowire
Jackson (ankle) is participating in Thursday's practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Jackson is back on the practice field in at least a limited capacity after having missed Wednesday's session due to an ankle issue. He previously began Week 11 prep as a non-participant due to knee soreness but then managed to log two consecutive full practices and suit up for Baltimore's win over the Browns. The Ravens' official Thursday injury report will reveal whether Jackson is on a similar upward trajectory for Sunday's matchup against the Jets.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Dealing with ankle issue
Rotowire
Jackson didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury.
Last week, Jackson was deemed a non-participant Wednesday due to knee soreness, but he was then able to practice fully both Thursday and Friday. With that in mind, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com previously reported that coach John Harbaugh indicated that the QB's most recent absence was the "same type of situation," which suggests that Jackson could follow the pattern that he did last week, which resulted in him heading into Week 11 action without an injury designation, this time as he manages a different injury issue. Thursday's practice report is destined to provide added context on that front, in any case.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Struggles in tough matchup Sunday
Rotowire
Jackson completed 14 of 25 pass attempts for 193 yards and two interceptions while adding 10 rushing yards on four carries in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Browns.
Jackson popped up on the injury report after missing one practice due to knee soreness, but his status for Sunday's tilt was never in jeopardy. The 28-year-old did not appear to be hampered by his knee, instead falling victim to a dominant performance by Myles Garrett (4.0 sacks) and the Cleveland defense. Jackson and the Ravens got the last laugh after earning the comeback victory on the back of Derrick Henry's excellent rushing day (18-103-1). Look for a healthy Jackson to let loose next Sunday against a Jets defense missing much of its star power after cleaning house at the trade deadline.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Confirmed as Sunday starter
Rotowire
Coach John Harbaugh confirmed Friday that Jackson (knee) will start Sunday's game against the Browns, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Jackson, who missed Wednesday's practice due to a sore knee but then practiced fully Thursday, is a "full go" for Sunday's contest. The star QB may not have WR Rashod Bateman (ankle) to throw to Sunday, however, a context that could lead to Devontez Walker being active for the first time since Week 5, as well as more action for DeAndre Hopkins and/or Tylan Wallace, per Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Logs full practice Thursday
Rotowire
Jackson (knee) returned to a full practice Thursday.
Jackson was deemed a 'DNP' on Wednesday due to knee soreness, but a day later he was able to work fully and moved around well in the process, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, which paves the way for Jackson to play Sunday against the Browns. In his last outing, the star QB completed 17 of his 29 pass attempts for 176 yards with a touchdown, while adding nine carries for 36 yards in the Ravens' Week 10 win over the Vikings.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Held quiet by Vikings
Rotowire
Jackson completed 17 of 29 passes for 176 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Vikings. He added nine rushes for 36 yards.
Jackson helped move the Ravens' offense effectively for most of the game, but he and the rest of the unit repeatedly stalled near the goal line. He managed to break through with a two-yard touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter to Mark Andrews to account for his only score of the game. This performance marked Jackson's second game this season with only one touchdown, though he has found the end zone at least three times in his remaining four contests.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: On track to return in Week 9
Rotowire
Jackson (hamstring) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.
Jackson noted after the practice that he is "100 percent healthy" and is trending toward making his return from a three-game absence against the Dolphins on Thursday, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. The superstar quarterback has been recovering from a hamstring injury that he sustained in Week 4 against Kansas City, which may still affect his mobility. With Jackson healthy enough to play, Tyler Huntley will revert to backup duties while Cooper Rush serves as the emergency third quarterback.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Coach confident in imminent return
Rotowire
Coach John Harbaugh said Monday that he's "very confident" Jackson (hamstring) will return to action in Week 9 at Miami, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports. "I expect him to be out there Thursday," Harbaugh added.
The Ravens have yet to produce their first injury report of the week, but Jackson appears on course to end a three-game absence due to a right hamstring injury. Should he have a setback and end up missing Thursday's contest, Tyler Huntley would get another start after leading the Ravens to a win over the Bears in Week 8.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Ruled out for Week 8
Rotowire
Jackson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Jackson's practice participation Friday was downgraded from full to limited, and he will miss a third straight game due to a hamstring injury he picked up in Week 4 against Kansas City. Cooper Rush got the start in Weeks 5 and 6 in Jackson's absence, but it will be Tyler Huntley -- whom the Ravens signed from the practice squad to the active roster Friday -- getting the start against Chicago. Schefter relays that Jackson is expected to make his return in Week 9 against the Dolphins on Thursday.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Might not play Week 8
Rotowire
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network relays that Jackson (hamstring) may not be ready to return against the Bears on Sunday.
Jackson was able to practice in full Friday after opening the week with back-to-back limited sessions. However, Rapoport notes that the eighth-year quarterback ran the scout team during Friday's practice, an indication that Jackson may not be ready to return from a hamstring injury until the Ravens' Week 9 road clash against the Dolphins on Thursday. Official word on Jackson's status for Week 8 should be closely monitored prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff; if he's inactive, then Tyler Huntley -- who was signed from the practice squad to the Ravens' active roster Friday -- would start against Chicago while Cooper Rush serves as the backup.
