Ravens’ Lamar Jackson Skips Practice Session as Marlon Humphrey Returns Ahead of Falcons

The Baltimore Ravens entered Friday’s practice week for their Sunday night game against the Atlanta Falcons with a notable absence at quarterback. Lamar Jackson was not on the field at the start of practice and the team reported that he has not practiced this week, keeping him off the day’s activity as Baltimore continued to prepare for a crucial matchup.

While Jackson’s status remained unchanged during the session, Baltimore did get a different kind of development. Wide receiver Zay Flowers, listed with a foot issue, was practicing again, suggesting progress from the earlier injury management that has shaped the Ravens’ week of work.

On defense, the Ravens’ early practice look also included Marlon Humphrey back at work. His return to practice provides Baltimore with a steadying presence in the secondary as the team adjusts preparation for the Falcons’ offensive approach.

The combination of a franchise quarterback not practicing and a key playmaker returning in another area leaves Baltimore with a clear set of questions for the coming day. It also sets up a practical storyline for how the Ravens will manage Jackson’s workload, even if the timeline remains measured and day-to-day.

For Atlanta, the Ravens’ practice form affects more than just personnel. When a quarterback misses practice time, the timing, tempo, and rhythm on offense often have to be tailored, which can influence what the Ravens are able to install or emphasize in their game plan. On the other side of the ball, Humphrey’s return can matter for how Baltimore lines up in coverage and how confidently it can match up in key situations.

As the Ravens move toward the weekend, the most important thing to watch is whether Jackson returns to full work at a later session or remains limited through game day. Flowers’ ability to continue practicing will also be monitored, especially with the foot issue that previously kept him out.

If Humphrey’s practice availability holds, Baltimore can build continuity on defense while preparing to face Atlanta with a secondary that is closer to its intended rotation than it would be with only partial availability.
