Yahoo Sports NFL on Lamar Jackson

Jackson's health and two 15+ yard runs signal return to elite dual-threat form.

Jackson returned healthy from 2025 injuries (hamstring strain, back contusion) and immediately demonstrated his dual-threat upside. He had two runs of 15+ yards against the Colts (matching his entire 2025 total of three such runs), with his pressure-to-sack rate improving from 23.1% in 2025 (when mobility was limited) to a healthier level. His rushing production of 26.8 YPG in 2025 was a clear outlier due to injury; Week 1 suggests a return to form as a mobile QB threat.
