BALTIMORE — Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson returned to practice Wednesday in Owings Mills for the first time since suffering a hamstring injury nearly a month ago.

The two-time NFL Most Valuable Player jogged onto the field late in the open portion of the session. After loosening up, he dapped up fullback Patrick Ricard, hugged offensive coordinator Todd Monken and chatted with quarterbacks coach Tee Martin.

Jackson then took part in team passing drills.

It’s a good sign for Jackson’s potential return for Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears at M&T Bank Stadium. He previously missed 14 straight days of practice.

Jackson, who has been out since suffering the injury in the third quarter of Baltimore’s Sept. 28 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium, has missed each of the past two games. The Ravens lost both, 44-10 to the Houston Texans and then 17-3 to the Los Angeles Rams, to fall to 1-5 on the season before last week’s bye.

Coach John Harbaugh is scheduled to speak to reporters later this afternoon.

The Ravens have struggled mightily in Jackson’s absence, falling to 4-12 in games in which he has not played since becoming the starting quarterback in 2018.

With Jackson absent, backups Cooper Rush and Tyler Huntley had been taking reps at quarterback during practice. Rush came off the bench against the Chiefs and has started each of the past two games and struggled, passing for a combined 303 yards and no touchdowns to go with four interceptions.

Huntley came off the bench against the Rams and completed 10 of 15 passes for 68 yards. He also ran three times for 39 yards.

Baltimore is currently in last place in the AFC North and trails the division-leading Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2) by three games with 11 weeks remaining in the regular season.
