Two-time MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson, along with five other Ravens starters, returned to practice Thursday ahead of the team’s game Sunday against the New York Jets.

Jackson has an ankle injury, according to the team, his third injury of the season, but he returned Thursday as a full participant.

The Ravens also saw starting inside linebacker Roquan Smith (hamstring), safety Kyle Hamilton (shoulder/groin), tight end Isaiah Likely (calf), left guard Andrew Vorhees (foot) and left tackle Ronnie Stanley (illness) return to practice after missing Wednesday’s session. Smith, Hamilton, Likely and Vorhees were limited, and Stanley was a full participant.

Coach John Harbaugh declined to discuss Jackson’s injury during his Wednesday press conference.

He said Jackson’s absence was the “same type of situation” as the previous week, when he missed a day of practice before returning to prepare for the Cleveland Browns.

“It’s the physical nature of the sport,” Harbaugh said. “Some guys don’t practice on Wednesday. We’ll try to get everybody available for Sunday that we can, and we’ll see as the week goes on who becomes available.”

Jackson said he might miss more practices this season because of various injuries, but “we’ll have to see what Coach feels about it.”

Jackson missed three games with a hamstring injury. He returned for the Ravens’ Week 9 win over the Miami Dolphins and played in the win over the Minnesota Vikings before missing practice due to knee soreness. However, he missed only one day and played in the Week 11 win over the Browns.

It is not clear when or how Jackson hurt his ankle.

Despite the numerous injuries and comments about them, Jackson assured reporters Thursday: “I’m good.”

Jackson is coming off two games when his completion percentage was under 60, although his season figure (68%) is higher than it was in 2023 (67.2%), when he was MVP.

Jackson completed 14 of 25 passes for 193 yards against the Browns. He ran for 10 yards and was sacked five times, the second most this season (he was sacked a career-high seven times against the Detroit Lions).

Offensive coordinator Todd Monken said Jackson’s lower-body injuries have not affected play calls.

The Ravens play two games in five days, hosting the Jets on Sunday and the Cincinnati Bengals on Thanksgiving night.

Only two players on the active roster remained missing: wide receiver Rashod Bateman and cornerback Keyon Martin.

Bateman was hurt against the Vikings after he was brought down from behind near the goal line.

Martin was injured in the Browns game and had to stay in Cleveland for observation at a hospital. He passed all the testing but is listed as having a rib injury.
