For the first time in nearly a month, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was back Wednesday for the first open practice of the week.

Jackson has been briefly sidelined by a knee injury (Week 11), an ankle injury (Week 12) and a toe injury (Week 13) since returning from a hamstring injury in Week 9. After a Thursday night loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in which he struggled with his accuracy but seemed to have regained some of his mobility, Jackson was a limited participant Wednesday. He was listed with an ankle injury.

“It’s always good to get a couple days’ rest, probably for everybody,” coach John Harbaugh said after practice Wednesday. “So that’s a positive in that sense. ... [The post-Thanksgiving break] would’ve been better if we’d won the game, so dealing with that. But, yes, it’s good to have [Jackson] out there doing what he did today. It’s a plus.”

The Ravens had full attendance as they prepared for Sunday’s crucial game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who enter Week 14 looking for separation in the AFC North.

Cornerback Nate Wiggins, who left the loss Thursday with a foot injury, was back at practice as a limited participant. Harbaugh said Monday that he was considered day-to-day.

Also back were outside linebacker Tavius Robinson, who broke his foot in Week 6, and safety Ar’Darius Washington, who tore his Achilles tendon in the offseason. Robinson has been designated to return off injured reserve and Washington from the reserve/physically-unable-to-perform list. Both were limited Wednesday.

Harbaugh said Wednesday he didn’t expect Robinson to play Sunday, but he wouldn’t rule out Washington, who returned to on-field workouts only a few weeks ago. A return Sunday or in Week 15 against the Bengals would cap an unusually fast rehabilitation for Washington, who tore his Achilles in May.

“There is a chance Ar’Darius could play, actually, this week,” Harbaugh said. “So, again, I wouldn’t say it’s a probability, but I’d say it’s a possibility.”

Washington partnered with Kyle Hamilton at deep safety to stabilize the Ravens’ defense over the second half of last season, but with Alohi Gilman and rookie Malaki Starks established there, Washington could play closer to the line of scrimmage, Harbaugh said. He played in the slot early in his career.

“He gives you versatility,” Harbaugh said. “That’s probably why you’d really be interested in doing it.”
