OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Baltimore Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson said Wednesday he's good to go for Sunday Night Football as the team begins a gauntlet of games against the AFC North.
The Ravens survived a thriller Sunday in Chicago without Jackson in what head coach John Harbaugh called a blessing.
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.
