Yahoo Sports NFL on Lamar Jackson

Jackson uncertain on Week 7 return; will only play if unrestricted.

Jackson has missed the last two games with a high ankle sprain suffered on Oct. 4 against the Titans and is nearing a return but remains uncertain about Week 7 availability against the Bengals. He told reporters Friday he's "heading in the right direction" but "can't call it right now" if he'll play, emphasizing he will only return if he can perform at full effectiveness: "If I can just go out there and feel the pain a little bit, I can play. But if I'm restricted and I can't do what I do, I'm not helping nobody." Ravens head coach Jesse Minter echoed this, stating the decision will be based on how Jackson feels and how effective he believes he can be.
