One day after getting a rest-related break, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson returned to practice Thursday as a full participant.
Jackson missed practice Wednesday with a not-injury-related designation, the fifth straight week he’s been sidelined for at least one session before a game. Coach John Harbaugh said afterward he was getting the day off to rest.
Jackson said after practice Thursday that he felt good and some of his struggles this season have been unrelated to his time away from the practice field. He’s completed less than 60% of his passes in five straight games, the longest such streak of his career.
“I feel like rest is one of the most important things when you’re recovering from any injury,” he said.
Jackson is on track to play Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, another AFC North game with massive playoff implications. He appeared to have his left ankle taped up at the start of practice Thursday. Along with an ankle injury, Jackson has dealt with hamstring, knee and toe ailments this season.
Cornerback Chidobe Awuzie, who missed practice Wednesday with a shoulder injury, also returned as a full participant. Awuzie jogged onto the field Thursday with an apparent shoulder harness. He played well in the Ravens’ Week 13 loss to the Bengals, allowing four catches on eight targets for just 25 yards and recording two pass breakups, according to Pro Football Focus.
Tight end Mark Andrews (glute) and wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) were limited participants Thursday.
