Ravens activate Lamar Jackson from reserve/COVID-19 list
The "Good Morning Football" crew sets expectations for Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson in 2021.
Lamar Jackson is back.
The Baltimore Ravens announced Friday that the former MVP quarterback has been activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Coach John Harbaugh said earlier in the day that Jackson returned to the team facility but hadn't yet been activated. A few hours later, the QB was cleared. The Ravens expected him back this weekend after his 10-day absence.
Jackson tested positive for COVID-19 last Wednesday, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported. The QB missed one game last season after testing positive.
Jackson's return comes as a potential contract extension looms ahead of the 2021 season. With Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen inking a six-year, $258 million extension Friday, Jackson and Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield are next in line for big paydays.
