Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Expected back for Week 8
Lamar Jackson (ankle), who has been ruled out out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, was considered close to playing this week and is "likely to return" to action Week 8 versus the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Tyler Huntley will start a third consecutive game while Jackson remains sidelined due to a left ankle sprain. Though Jackson has taken longer than initially anticipated to make a full recovery from the injury, he took some clear steps forward in Week 7 by practicing as a limited participant Wednesday through Friday. So long as Jackson can maintain that level of activity or upgrade to full at any point during Week 8 prep, he should get the green light to return to the lineup in Buffalo.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Officially limited Wednesday
Lamar Jackson (ankle) was listed as a limited participant Wednesday.Earlier Wednesday, head coach Jesse Minter told Ryan Mink of the Baltimore Ravens' official site that Jackson was able to get in some "limited" work, and the team's first practice report of Week 7 confirmed as much. The limited session marked Jackson's first practice participation since sustaining a left ankle sprain in a Week 4 win over the Titans. Encouraging though it may be that Jackson was back on the field Wednesday, a decision has yet to be made regarding whether he'll be available this Sunday against the Bengals. Jackson's practice participation in the next two days will likely go a long way toward determining his status.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Gets in 'limited' work Wednesday
Baltimore Ravens head coach Jesse Minter said that Lamar Jackson got some "limited" work in with the team during Wednesday's practice, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.Per Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore, Jackson appeared to be walking with a limp Wednesday and didn't seem to be dressed for practice as if he participated, but the two-time MVP was apparently able to mix into drills on some level. Though backup Tyler Huntley presumably still took at least some reps with the first-team offense in case he's needed to make a third consecutive start Sunday versus the Bengals, Jackson could be ready to make his return to the lineup if his ankle responds well to on-field work over the next couple of days.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Not seen Wednesday
Lamar Jackson (ankle) wasn't present for the open portion of Wednesday's practice, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.Head coach Jesse Minter told Ryan Mink of the Baltimore Ravens' official site Monday that Jackson may "potentially" take part in Week 7 practices, but the quarterback instead will continue to sit out drills, as he's done since Oct. 4. A lingering left ankle sprain is to blame for Jackson's absence, but he at least has two more chances to get back on the field this week. For as long as Jackson is sidelined, though, Tyler Huntley will direct Baltimore's offense.
