Ja'Kobi Lane's Week 1 injury was by far the biggest disappointment coming out of the Baltimore Ravens' season-opening win. The third-round pick had lit up the practice field throughout training camp and flashed in his limited preseason action, raising expectations for a rookie breakout in Declan Doyle's new offense. But a fractured wrist that required surgery forced Lane onto injured reserve. His mandatory stay of four weeks has now elapsed, making him eligible to re-join his teammates at practice this week. He is expected to do so on Wednesday, per NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Lane eligible to return from IR; expected to practice Wednesday after wrist surgery.

Third-round rookie WR returning from four-week IR stint following fractured wrist surgery; eligible to practice this week and expected to rejoin the Ravens on Wednesday. Lane lit up the practice field throughout training camp and flashed in limited preseason action, raising expectations for a rookie breakout in Declan Doyle's new offense. Head coach Jesse Minter praised Lane on Monday for maintaining conditioning while sidelined. The Ravens released Chris Moore on Tuesday, opening a roster spot for Lane's activation. Lane drew three targets on just 18 routes in his NFL debut and should play a major role in the red zone moving forward.
