The Baltimore Ravens are preparing to welcome back the player who can transform their entire offense, and Lamar Jackson has given them plenty of reasons for optimism with his performance in practice this week.
After missing the second half of Week 4 and the following three games, the two-time NFL MVP is expected to return against Buffalo, bringing a much-needed boost to an offense searching for answers following a 35-13 loss to Cincinnati.
Jackson's ability to threaten defenses with both his arm and his legs changes how opponents have to approach Baltimore, creating opportunities that extend far beyond his own production.
His mobility opens running lanes for his teammates, while the attention he commands from defenders creates additional space for receivers to make plays downfield.
Before his absence, Lamar had already demonstrated his efficiency, completing 75% of his passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns in Week 4, finishing with a 144.2 passer rating.
Now, Baltimore heads to Buffalo for a challenging Week 8 matchup with renewed optimism and the prospect of having its most important offensive weapon back under center.
The Ravens need more than individual highlights. They need their offense operating at a higher level, and Jackson is exactly the kind of player who can elevate everyone around him.
