In a season full of plot twists that movie producers would deem too unrealistic to write, the first-place Ravens will again have their man in the starring role, ready to go against the Cleveland Browns.

Jackson practiced Wednesday without limitations.

The non-COVID-19 virus that ravaged Jackson last week left him curled up under a big jacket in the bowels of Soldier Field to watch Sunday's game.

But now, he said he's 120% ready to go, that the virus is finally fully behind him. When asked whether Jackson thought lingering effects of two bouts with COVID-19 (in July and in August) had affected his immune system, he said probably.

But even as he lay shivering and miserable in Chicago, when his protégé, Tyler Huntley, led the game-winning drive, the thoughts of being sick vanished.

"To be honest with you, I was inside, I was down with a big old jacket wrapped around me. I was watching the game, and then when he did that last drive, I felt like I wasn't sick anymore ... I was pumped up. I already know what he's capable of. I played against him in high school twice and he's always been the same guy -- hungry, want to win and be a leader," Jackson said.

So, now Jackson, barring any new illness, will be available Sunday to face the Browns, and in preps for that, you have to go back to the last time he faced Cleveland and authored one of the greatest games in Ravens' history.

Also Wednesday, Marquise "Hollywood" Brown and Brandon Williams practiced for the first time in almost a month.
