Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is expected to return to action on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills at New Highmark Stadium.
Jackson has not played since suffering an ankle injury in Week 4 against the Tennessee Titans. He was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. The Ravens have gone 1-2 without him.
Getting the two-time MVP back will surely be a huge boost to Baltimore, especially with Tyler Huntley struggling to fill the void. Coach Jesse Minter, however, dismissed the narrative that Jackson is the only person who can save the Ravens.
“There are opportunities throughout the year when you're missing a key guy or whatever, for other people to step up, and we've had three games now where at times it has and at times it hasn't,” said Minter in the video posted by ESPN's Jamison Hensley.
“So, it's everybody. It's everybody in the building. Whether it's the head coach, the play-callers, the coordinator, the position coaches, the people running the scout team, all the players, the trainers, the strength staff. Everybody needs to do a little bit more to improve and find improvement, and that's really all we're after.”
