Lamar Jackson is questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears after being a full practice participant Friday.
Riding a four-game losing streak and hungry for a win coming out of their bye, the Ravens (1-5) are hopeful that Jackson can return to game action after missing Baltimore's last two games with a hamstring injury.
Jackson's full practice participation to end the week is a positive sign after he was limited the previous two days, but Head Coach John Harbaugh didn't make any declarations about whether his two-time MVP quarterback will play.
"We'll see where we're at going forward," Harbaugh said.
If Jackson does not play, Tyler Huntley would be the next man up, Harbaugh said. Huntley has been preparing as if he will be the starter all week.
"[Jackson] is getting back into his swing of things, and he looks good," Huntley said. "When he is not able to play, he'll let you know, 'Man, I can't go.' But when he is ready to go, he is ready to go."
Huntley provided a late-game spark in the Ravens' loss to the Los Angeles Rams before the bye. He also stepped in for Jackson the last time the Ravens faced the Bears in 2021, helping Baltimore rally for a 16-13 victory with a late-game drive.
Baltimore is arguably the healthiest it's been all season, as linebacker Roquan Smith (hamstring), left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle), fullback Patrick Ricard (calf), and cornerback Chidobe Awuzie (hamstring) are all slated to return to game action.
Stanley was the only player on the 53-man roster who didn't practice Friday, and Harbaugh said it was a rest day. All four of those players have no injury designation heading into the game.
Bears Rule Out Five Players, Including Two Cornerbacks
For the first time in a long time, the Ravens are the healthier team heading into their matchup.
The Bears ruled out five players for Sunday's game and four others are questionable to play. Those ruled out include starting cornerbacks Kyler Gordon (groin/calf) and Tyrique Stevenson (shoulder). Starting tight end Cole Kmet (back) is also sidelined.
Running back D'Andre Swift (groin) is questionable to play and didn't log a full practice all week.
