Ravens rookie offensive lineman Emery Jones Jr. was activated for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets, marking another step toward his NFL debut.

Jones, a third-round draft pick who missed the Ravens’ offseason workouts and training camp while recovering from shoulder surgery, didn’t make his practice debut until Oct. 1. With Jones active for the first time, veteran guard Ben Cleveland was a healthy scratch.

“Emery Jones Jr. has made very good progress, very quick progress,” coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday. “It’s only been about three to four weeks. ... I would say he’s made excellent progress, and he’s getting pretty close to being ready to play.”
