Report: Ravens QB Lamar Jackson on track to come off COVID-19/reserve list, start against Cowboys - The Dallas Morning News

By the time this season is done, the Baltimore Ravens would like to be known as the team that rebounded from an outbreak of COVID-19 to reach the playoffs, rather than the NFL club most impacted by playing in the middle of a pandemic.

Decimated by the coronavirus and injuries, the Ravens (6-5) lost their third straight game Wednesday in Pittsburgh. Baltimore didn’t have quarterback Lamar Jackson, running backs Mark Ingram and J.K. Dobbins and started a third-string center against the unbeaten Steelers, yet still made a game of it behind a defense that was without linemen Calais Campbell and Brandon Williams.

The Ravens will be getting a few players back each day as they prepare for Tuesday night’s game against the Dallas Cowboys. Perhaps most importantly, Baltimore’s starting quarterback appears on track to make his return against America’s Team.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Sunday morning that Jackson is expected to come off of Baltimore’s COVID-19/Reserve list and start Tuesday against the Cowboys.

Jackson, who tested positive for the coronavirus on Thanksgiving, completed his 10-day quarantine Saturday and was eligible to be activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday.

Hopeful that the COVID-19 that infiltrated the team has been controlled, head coach John Harbaugh scheduled a full practice for Friday. The team could use the work after being limited to a pair of walk-throughs heading into the game against the Steelers.

“We just need to practice more than anything,” Harbaugh said on Tuesday. “We haven’t practiced hardly at all. We need to have some good practices and get our football sea legs under us so we can go out there and perform the way we want to.”

Dallas has lost four of five — just like Baltimore — but still has incentive to win as it stands only one game out of first place in the awful NFC East.

Although the Ravens have been eliminated from defending their AFC North title and are outside of the current playoff picture, the remainder of the schedule is not imposing. The only team left with a winning record is the Browns, a team Baltimore squashed 38-6 in the season opener.

Schefter also reported Sunday that Ravens tight end Mark Andrews, Baltimore’s season-leader in receptions who was also on the COVID-19/Reserve list, is not expected to play against Dallas.
