Baltimore Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson missed two straight practices this week because of a back issue, but he was back at practice on Friday and should be good to go for this weekend's showdown against the undefeated Denver Broncos.

Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown had a positive assessment on Jackson after practice, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN:
“I felt he looked real good,” Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown said. “He's been looking good all season. He's been precise. [I'm] happy he's back practicing.”
While Jackson's back flared up on him this week, it seems he was never really in any danger of missing Week 4. The Ravens quarterback has a tough task ahead of him this weekend against a stingy Broncos defense. Denver leads the NFL in points allowed per game with just 8.7. Jackson will try to evade AFC Defensive Player of the Month Von Miller all game.
Jackson has been a hero for the Ravens this season, leading them to a 2-1 record despite a plethora of injuries. The quarterback pulled off comeback heroics the last two weeks against the Kansas City Chiefs and Detroit Lions.
On the season, Jackson has thrown for 761 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions. The speedy quarterback has made a killing on the ground, rushing for 251 yards and two scores.
