Lamar Jackson Is 'Extremely Excited' to Return to Action

After missing the past three games, Lamar Jackson is ready to return to action Thursday night in Miami.

The Ravens went 1-2 without Jackson, who left their Sept. 28 game in Kansas City early with a hamstring injury.

Jackson is practicing fully this week after ramping up last week with limited practices, including one running the scout team. Asked if he feels back to 100%, Jackson said, "Yes, I feel great."

"I can't wait to touch the grass with my guys," Jackson said. "It's been a while. I feel good, feel great. Shout out to the training staff."

Jackson said this was his first experience with a hamstring injury. He wanted to return as quickly as possible but was also wary of reinjuring himself.

"You don't want to rush [back from] a hamstring injury and make it worse, and then now you're out for the whole season," Jackson said. "I feel like hamstring injuries can be tricky. This was my first time having one, and I thought I'd be able to move sometimes, and then I would feel a little tug early on when I was rehabbing. I didn't want to end my season or end my career on a hamstring injury."

The Ravens practiced Tuesday with their healthiest team in weeks. Every player on the 53-man roster practiced, a positive sign during a short week before Thursday night's game against the Miami Dolphins.

Left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) was limited. Cornerbacks Nate Wiggins (groin) and T.J. Tampa Jr. (shoulder) and linebacker Teddye Buchanan (calf) were full participants after being limited on Monday.
