Working with new OC Roman
Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman believes Jackson is gifted in terms of vision and instincts but still has work to do when it comes to passing fundamentals, ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley reports. "I think fundamentally is where [Jackson]'s going to need to put most of his work," Roman said. "I think where to throw the ball and seeing guys open, I think those are things that he naturally has."
Analysis: Roman was promoted within the organization to replace Marty Mornhinweg, who led the successful transition to an offense based around read-option runs after Jackson replaced Joe Flacco at quarterback. The Ravens believe Roman can build on that success with the help of more sophisticated run designs, as his offenses finished eighth, fourth, third, fourth and first in the NFL for rushing yards in his five full seasons as a coordinator, per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Roman is best known for his…read more

Gets endorsement from Harbaugh
Coach John Harbaugh said last week that Jackson will remain the Ravens' top signal-caller heading into the 2019 season, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports. "I know Joe [Flacco] is going to do really well. I mean, Lamar is our quarterback going forward -- no question about that," Harbaugh said.
Analysis: Jackson took over for an injured Flacco as the Ravens' starting quarterback in Week 11, bringing with him a new-look, run-heavy offensive attack that guided the team to wins in six of its final seven contests of the regular season. Unfortunately, Jackson couldn't keep the momentum going in the Jan. 6 wild-card-round loss to the Chargers, completing only 14 of 29 passes for 194 yards and adding 54 yards on the ground while throwing an interception and losing one of his three fumbles. The rookie…read more

Mixed bag in first playoff game
Jackson completed 14 of 29 passes for 194 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Ravens' 23-17 wild-card loss to the Chargers on Sunday. He also rushed nine times for 54 yards but had three fumbles, losing one.
Analysis: Jackson had a postseason effort befitting a rookie making only his eighth professional start: plenty of miscues and missed throws, along with some dazzling plays that almost led to an improbable comeback. The 2018 first-round pick was largely ineffective for the first three quarters, leading to speculation that veteran Joe Flacco could be inserted at any moment. However, Jackson came to life midway through the final period, leading marches of 75 and 80 yards that culminated with touchdown…read more

Dazzling performance on ground
Jackson completed 14 of his 24 pass attempts for 179 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Browns. He added 90 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries.
Analysis: Jackson turned in one of his better passing performances of the season, averaging 7.46 yards per attempt -- his third-highest mark as the starter. However, that paled in comparison to his impact on the ground, as he found the end zone twice and had a third would-be touchdown called back for holding. While there is reasonable concern about Jackson's ability to stay healthy given his heavy workload on the ground, he has proven to be a competent passer and dangerous rusher through seven career…read more

Sets career high in passing yards
Jackson completed 12 of 22 pass attempts for 204 yards and a touchdown, adding 39 rushing yards on 13 carries in Saturday's 22-10 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Jackson eclipsed the 200-yard mark for the first time this year on the back of a beautiful 68-yard touchdown pass to Mark Andrews. The athletic quarterback's completion percentage still hovered around 50 percent (58 percent on the year), and he missed a few routine pass attempts. It has become apparent that the rookie has an erratic arm, but anything he can do in the air complements what he can gain on the ground. That said, Jackson's best passing performance to date was accompanied by his…read more

Thrives on ground again in win
Jackson completed 14 of 23 passes for 131 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions in the Ravens' 20-12 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also rushed 18 times for 95 yards and lost a fumble.
Analysis: It was a trademark Jackson line: light on passing yards but reflecting superior ground production. The rookie's fumble at the Buccaneers' 43-yard line late in the first quarter was costly, however, eventually leading to Tampa Bay's only touchdown of the day. Jackson did make up for his miscue with mistake-free football the rest of the way, and he continued to pile up production with his legs, checking in only nine yards behind team leader Gus Edwards in rushing. Jackson continues to do enough…read more

Practices fully
Jackson (ankle) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: In addition to the good news about Jackson's ankle injury, coach John Harbaugh confirmed Wednesday morning that the rookie will continue to start at quarterback. Joe Flacco (hip) is expected to return for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay as the backup signal-caller, though it isn't out of the question he could play a few snaps, specifically in obvious passing situations. Jackson's ability to practice without any restrictions suggests the injury shouldn't hinder his mobility Sunday.

Remains starting quarterback
Coach John Harbaugh confirmed that Jackson (ankle) would remain the team's starting quarterback Sunday against the Buccaneers, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Though longtime No. 1 signal-caller Joe Flacco (hip) is scheduled to return from a four-game absence this weekend, he'll dress as the backup for the first time in his career after Harbaugh stated that Jackson "gives the team the best chance to win right now," per Zrebiec. It's hard to quibble with Harbaugh's assessment, given that the Ravens sat at 4-5 under Flacco's stewardship while Jackson has helped guide the team to three wins in his four starts, with the lone loss coming in overtime on…read more

Could lose some snaps to Flacco
Coach John Harbaugh suggested Jackson (ankle) could lose some snaps to Joe Flacco (hip), Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports. "It stands to reason that if Joe's ready to go, he'll be part of the game plan," Harbaugh said Monday. "He's too good of a player not to be."
Analysis: This isn't the first time Harbaugh has mentioned the possibility of using both quarterbacks, only this week there's actually a good chance Flacco will be ready to play. Meanwhile, Jackson is dealing with an ailment of his own, though Harbaugh expects the rookie to be okay for a Week 15 home game against the Buccaneers. Jackson reportedly walked around the locker room without a noticeable limp after missing the final two snaps of Sunday's 27-24 loss to Kansas City. The Ravens' quarterback…read more

Expected to start again
Jackson (ankle) is on track for another start Week 15 against the Buccaneers, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Joe Flacco (hip) is expected to return from a four-game absence, but he'll likely serve as the No. 2 quarterback unless there's a complication with Jackson's ankle injury. The rookie first-round pick missed the final two snaps of Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss in Kansas City, but X-rays came back negative and he reportedly walked around the locker room without a limp after the game. His unparalleled reliance on running means any lingering ankle soreness would be problematic from a fantasy…read more

X-rays return negative
X-rays on Jackson's injured ankle conducted after Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs returned negative, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The rookie believes he'll be ready to play Week 15 against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: For the second week in a row, Jackson was removed from a game with an injury that didn't turn out to be serious. He once again proved shaky as a passer -- he completed 13 of 24 attempts for 147 yards and two touchdowns -- and lost a fumble, but he carved up the Chiefs on the ground for 71 yards on 13 carries. The fact that the Ravens nearly scored a road upset against the AFC's top team is probably enough to earn Jackson another start Week 15, despite longtime starting quarterback Joe Flacco…read more

Downplays ankle issue
When asked about an ankle injury he suffered late in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, Jackson replied, "I'm good," Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The issue caused Jackson to miss the end of Baltimore's 27-24 loss Sunday, but it doesn't appear to be something that will affect his Week 15 availability. It remains to be seen, however, if his practice participation will be impacted at all. The Ravens' QB situation will thus be worth monitoring in the coming days, with the health of Joe Flacco (hip) improving.

Exits game late
Robert Griffin finished up Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Chiefs after Jackson exited the game late in overtime with an unspecified injury.
Analysis: Prior to being forced out of the game, Jackson completed 13 of 24 passes for 147 yards and two TDs and ran 13 times for 71 yards. His status will be worth monitoring in the coming days, especially with the health of fellow QB Joe Flacco (hip) improving.

Starting in Week 14
Jackson will remain the Ravens' starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With Joe Flacco (hip) inactive for the fourth straight game, Jackson will retain the starting job for another week, though he likely would have kept his spot atop the depth chart even if Flacco had been healthy enough to play. That said, Jackson would bolster his case for sticking as the Ravens' permanent starting quarterback if he can deliver a quality performance against the 10-2 Chiefs in what will be his first outing versus an opponent with a winning record. Over his prior three starts,…read more

Jackson (hip) is expected to receive another start Sunday in Kansas City, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Joe Flacco (hip) was reportedly moving around better at Wednesday's practice but is still showing some signs of limitation. Of course, there's no guarantee Flacco will start even when he's healthy, considering the Ravens have won three consecutive games with Jackson spearheading a rejuvenated rushing attack.

Not assured of starting job Week 14
Coach John Harbaugh said he hasn't made a decision on the quarterback position going forward, even though Jackson has done enough to keep the starting job, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: There was reportedly no decision to make ahead of Sunday's 26-16 win over the Falcons, as Joe Flacco (hip) still doesn't have medical clearance to play. However, the 33-year-old quarterback did manage limited practice participation Thursday and Friday, perhaps giving him a chance to gain clearance for Week 14 in Kansas City. The Ravens have won three consecutive games on the strength of a powerful rushing attack led by Jackson, but the rookie has also been responsible for four turnovers and a…read more

Keeps it rolling on the ground
Jackson completed 12 of 21 passes for 125 yards and added 75 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries during Sunday's 26-16 win over Atlanta. He lost a fumble during the contest.
Analysis: Jackson gave the Ravens their only offensive touchdown late in the first quarter, keeping it on an option play and slicing for a 13-yard score. That's Jackson at his best. At his worst, Jackson scrambled early in the second quarter, was stripped, and the Falcons returned it for a 74-yard score. Jackson has doubtlessly breathed life into a Ravens team that is suddenly slated for a wild-card spot, but he continues to come with risk, not the least of which is whether his body, not exactly in the…read more

Set for third straight start
Jackson will remain the Ravens' starting quarterback for Sunday's game in Atlanta with Joe Flacco (hip) listed as doubtful for the contest, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After failing to log any on-field activity the previous two weeks and being ruled out ahead of wins over the Bengals and Raiders, Flacco returned to practice Thursday and Friday, but was visibly limited during both sessions. Flacco will most likely be inactive or available only in an emergency Sunday while he remains hobbled by the right hip injury, clearing the way for Jackson to make his third straight start and first career nod outside of Baltimore.

In line to start Sunday
Jackson is slated to start Sunday's game in Atlanta, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: On Monday, coach John Harbaugh suggested Jackson might split snaps with longtime starter Joe Flacco once the latter is cleared to play, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. However, Flacco has yet to gain clearance, so Jackson will remain the Ravens' primary signal-caller Week 13, which presents a matchup with a Falcons defense that ranks 26th against the pass (273 yards per game) and has allowed opposing quarterbacks to rack up 205 yards and three touchdowns on the ground in 11 games.

Could split snaps with Flacco
Coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Jackson and Joe Flacco (hip) may both have significant roles once the latter is cleared to play, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jackson just engineered back-to-back wins behind team totals of 267 and 242 rushing yards, but he struggled in obvious passing situations against a pair of soft opponents (Cincinnati and Oakland).

Headed for week of uncertainty
Coach John Harbaugh doesn't intend to announce his decision between Jackson or Joe Flacco (hip) as the starting quarterback for Week 13 in Atlanta, ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley reports. "Whether the decision has been made or not, it's not important for anybody to know but us," Harbaugh said after Sunday's 34-17 win over the Raiders. "If I decide to do it one way or another, I don't want our opponent to know. So, I'm probably not going to announce it for obvious reasons."
Analysis: Flacco reportedly hopes to resume practicing Tuesday, but he hasn't yet been cleared to do so and still needs to meet with a hip specialist in the coming days. Meanwhile, Jackson has led the Ravens to back-to-back wins, albeit in home games with the benefit of cupcake matchups (Cincinnati and Oakland). The rookie has taken 37 carries for 190 yards and a touchdown as the starter, but he's also been intercepted three times on just 44 pass attempts. As much sense as it makes to deploy a run-heavy…read more

Flashes highs and lows in win
Jackson completed 14 of 25 passes for 178 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions during Sunday's 34-17 win over the Raiders. He added 71 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries and fumbled a ball that was recovered by the offense.
Analysis: Jackson extended the Ravens' lead early in the fourth quarter with an eight-yard quick slant to Michael Crabtree, his first passing touchdown as a starter. That play, and an earlier five-yard touchdown run, will give fans hope for what is to come, but Jackson still has a ways to go as a passer. Aside from two picks, one of which was tipped, Jackson averaged a paltry 4.3 yards per attempt if you were to exclude a wide-open 74-yard go to Mark Andrews.

Jackson will make another start Sunday against the Raiders, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With Joe Flacco (hip) still absent from practice and officially ruled out, Jackson will take aim at a defense ranked 32nd in yards allowed per pass attempt (8.9) and 26th in yards allowed per carry (4.8). The rookie has stated his desire to do more as a passer, but the Ravens may be just fine relying on their running game for a second straight week.

Jackson appears to be the leading candidate to start Sunday's game against the Raiders after Joe Flacco (hip) failed to practice Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Flacco still has two more opportunities to prove his health in practice before the Ravens decide on his status for the weekend, but there doesn't seem to be much early optimism for his availability. Jackson led the Ravens to a much-needed victory over the Bengals in Week 11, with coach John Harbaugh utilizing a ground-heavy game plan that took advantage of the rookie's impressive wheels.

More runs than pass attempts in win
Jackson completed 13 of 19 passes for 150 yards and an interception during Sunday's 24-21 win over Cincinnati and added 117 yards on 27 carries.
Analysis: Runs of 12 and 21 yards helped ease Jackson in during his first drive as a starter, setting up an Alex Collins touchdown. Though he completed a solid clip of his passes, the majority of those throws were underneath and a scramble-turned-interception to start the second half showed some of the lack of comfort Jackson appears to still have as a more traditional passer.

Analysis: Prior reports noted that Jackson was merely expected to start with Joe Flacco (hip) unlikely to play, but this latest nugget offers some confirmation. Because the Ravens have frequently made use of two-quarterback sets throughout the season, it's expected that Jackson and top backup Robert Griffin will share the field in tandem at various points during the game.

Likely to see bulk of snaps
The Ravens haven't officially revealed their plans at quarterback for Sunday's game against the Bengals, but Jackson is expected to start and his teammates anticipate that he'll play the majority of the snaps, Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network report.
Analysis: Joe Flacco (hip) is listed as doubtful for the contest and is unlikely to play, opening the door for the 2018 first-round pick to draw his first NFL start. Though Jackson draws a matchup against the NFL's worst pass defense (313.3 yards per game allowed), expect the Ravens to follow a run-heavy script early on in light of the rookie's spotty accuracy and overall lack of polish as a passer at this stage of his career.

Jackson may take over the starting job for Week 11 against Cincinnati while fellow quarterback Joe Flacco recovers from a hip injury, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports.
Analysis: Flacco is still in the process of seeking medical opinions, but his injury reportedly is serious enough to warrant some discussion of surgery or prolonged rest. The Ravens may want to use it as a convenient excuse for a quarterback change even if Flacco isn't in too much pain, as the team heads into a Week 10 bye at 4-5 after three consecutive losses.

Still viewed as QB in long run
Coach John Harbaugh suggested he isn't yet thinking about starting Jackson over Joe Flacco, though Harbaugh did say he still views the rookie as a quarterback in the long run, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jackson got some snaps at quarterback in the second half of blowouts Weeks 1 and 8, but he's otherwise been used as a gadget player with Flacco on the field at the same time. A three-game losing streak has led to some rumbling as the Ravens enter a bye week, perhaps speeding up the timeline for Jackson to get a real look under center.

Remains involved in Baltimore's offense
Jackson completed his lone pass attempt for 12 yards and added five carries for 10 yards Sunday against the Steelers.
Analysis: For the second straight week, Jackson played double-digit snaps. Unlike Week 8 against the Panthers, Jackson's inclusion in the offense came when the game was still undecided rather than late in the fourth quarter with the result already determined. Jackson's most notable play came when he floated out into the flat and looked to be wide open for a touchdown, but quarterback Joe Flacco didn't see him and instead looked for a receiver in the back of the end zone. Baltimore has now lost three…read more

Notches first NFL touchdown pass
Jackson completed four of five passes for 46 yards and a touchdown against the Panthers and added three rushes for 26 yards.
Analysis: Jackson took the reins of the offense on Baltimore's last series with the game well out of reach. He looked comfortable on that drive, completing all four of his passes including a 26-yard touchdown to fellow rookie Hayden Hurst. Jackson's one miss of the day came in the first quarter when he missed an open Willie Snead down the sideline. It doesn't appear that Baltimore is ready to turn the keys over to Jackson on meaningful drives just yet, but the team does want to get him some experience as…read more

Scores first career touchdown
Jackson ran for nine yards and a touchdown on three attempts and added a 5-yard completion during Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Jackson gave the Ravens the lead just seconds before halftime, faking the handoff to Alex Collins and then cutting up field for a 1-yard touchdown run. Jackson also completed his first pass since Week 1 on Sunday. This kind of performance obviously doesn't make Jackson relevant yet for fantasy purposes, but it does add another interesting wrinkle to the Ravens offense. A matchup against a stout Panthers defense awaits next Sunday.

Rips off 22-yard run against Titans
Jackson played two offensive snaps Sunday and took one carry for 22 yards against the Titans.
Analysis: It was a season-low snap count total for the rookie, but he still managed to impress with a season-long run of 22 yards. Jackson's run showed vision and patience in letting the play develop and he came up just shy of notching his first rushing touchdown. Joe Flacco's strong play to start the season has squashed any notion of Jackson supplanting him as the starter this year, so it seems Jackson will have a limited and highly specialized role for the time being.

Sees heavy playing time in debut
Jackson completed one of four passes for 24 yards Sunday against the Bills and added seven carries for 39 yards.
Analysis: The Ravens turned to Jackson in the third quarter after getting out to a 40-0 lead, but he also had five plays in the first half in which he was on the field with Joe Flacco, per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. "We wanted to establish him as a threat quickly, not a possible threat. We wanted him to go out there and make plays and generate plays for us," coach John Harbaugh said after the game. Jackson's main duty after taking over in the third quarter was to help run out the clock in a blowout,…read more

May play in pro debut
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Jackson is "expected to be active" Sunday against the Bills.
Analysis: Listed as the Ravens' No. 2 quarterback on the depth chart, Jackson is all but guaranteed to suit up for his professional debut, but long-time QB Joe Flacco is in the way for regular touches. No matter, Rapoport relayed that the team has "several packages with Lamar Jackson at quarterback, not receiver, at this point...to keep a defense on its toes." Rapoport added that "we will see him [Jackson] in some form or fashion," which is an interesting development. During exhibition season, Jackson…read more

Could be No. 2 QB
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh hasn't revealed whether Jackson or Robert Griffin is the primary backup to starting quarterback Joe Flacco, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Ravens are carrying three quarterbacks into Week 1 for the first time since 2009, creating some question as to whether Jackson or Griffin would enter a game in the event of a Flacco injury. Jackson is listed in the second spot on the depth chart, but it seems like an odd decision to keep 28-year-old Griffin on the roster as a third stringer. It's equally unclear if the Ravens will follow through on their offseason idea to give Jackson a few snaps per game in special packages designed to…read more

Opens season as No. 3 QB
Jackson will enter the season as Baltimore's No. 3 quarterback behind Joe Flacco and Robert Griffin, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com reports.
Analysis: Jackson had three rushing TDs during the preseason and improved as a passer the last two weeks, but it seems the Ravens are more comfortable entering the season with a veteran backup. This may also end the discussion about gadget plays involving Jackson, as teams usually don't keep their No. 3 QB active on game days. It still isn't totally out of the question for Jackson to make starts during his rookie season, especially if the Ravens fall out of playoff contention.

Finishes preseason strong
Jackson completed nine of 15 passes for 109 yards and took three carries for 25 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's preseason finale against Washington.
Analysis: Jackson played the entire first half and led the Ravens to 13 points on five drives. He's looked much better as a passer the last two weeks, after completing just 11 of 28 attempts through the first two games of the preseason. He finishes the exhibition slate 34-of-68 passing for 408 yards, three touchdowns and an interception, with 23 carries for 136 yards and three more scores. The completion rate (50.0) is far below NFL standards, but the Ravens didn't have any trouble scoring points when…read more

Sharp in preseason win
Jackson completed seven of 10 passes for 98 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions in the Ravens' 27-10 preseason win over the Dolphins on Saturday. He also rushed three times for 39 yards and another score.
Analysis: Coach John Harbaugh took the opportunity of giving his first-round pick a solid allotment of playing time in what was supposed to be the team's dress rehearsal for the regular season, and Jackson responded with his sharpest performance as a passer yet. The rookie started the second half and immediately oversaw a five-play, 84-yard drive that culminated with a 65-yard touchdown run by De'Lance Turner. Jackson then contributed a 19-yard scoring scamper himself two possessions later, and he…read more

Throws touchdown pass
Jackson completed seven of 15 attempts for 49 yards and a touchdown while playing six series in Monday night's 20-19 win over the Colts in the third preseason game. He also rushed four times for 26 yards.
Analysis: Jackson continues to be a work in progress from inside the pocket, particularly on throws outside the numbers. While he again completed less than half of his attempts, Jackson did find Chris Moore for a seven-yard touchdown on a rollout pass. As expected, he also offered some sizzle running the ball when nothing else was open. Overall, Jackson still looks pretty raw as a passer, but maintains a knack for making plays outside of the pocket.

Looks better in second game
Jackson completed seven of 18 passes for 119 yards, adding five carries for 21 yards and a touchdown, in Thursday's 33-7 preseason win over the Rams.
Analysis: This was an improvement over Jackson's performance last week in the Hall of Fame Game, though he was inconsistent after starting his night with a 36-yard completion and a beautiful nine-yard touchdown run on his first drive. It was noteworthy to see the rookie playing ahead of Robert Griffin, who entered the game midway through the third quarter and completed five of seven passes for 88 yards and a touchdown. Joe Flacco actually had the best night among the three quarterbacks, completing five…read more

Shows promise in preseason debut
Jackson completed four of 10 passes for 33 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Thursday's Hall of Fame game against the Bears. He added 24 rushing yards on four carries.
Analysis: While nothing spectacular, Jackson's performance had to be a pleasing sight for Ravens fans who saw the rookie flash upside as both a passer and running threat. The rookie started off by going three-and-out on his first drive, but he bounced back on his second by marching the Baltimore offense down the field with a few impressively-accurate throws and a Michael Vick-esque scramble, ultimately connecting with fellow first-rounder Hayden Hurst for a seven-yard touchdown. However, Jackson's third…read more

Finishes minicamp strong
Jackson took all the quarterback reps on the final day of minicamp, ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley reports.
Analysis: The Ravens have been working on special packages to take advantage of Jackson's rushing ability, and they also want him to gain some level of comfort with running the entire offense. Coach John Harbaugh seems committed to Joe Flacco as the Week 1 starter, but the 33-year-old will be on a much shorter leash than in past seasons. Jackson figures to compete with Robert Griffin for the No. 2 quarterback job when Ravens training camp opens July 19.
