The Ravens returned to the practice field on Thursday, and Lamar Jackson is back, participating in his second straight practice ahead of Sunday night's win-or-go-home season finale against the hated Steelers. Jackson's return is key for Baltimore (8-8), which is clinging to its playoff life after a 41-24 win over Green Bay that saw Derrick Henry amass a career high 36 carries, 216 yards rushing, and four touchdowns as John Harbaugh's team fought for survival. The Ravens needed a Browns win over the Steelers on Sunday for a shot at a winner-take-all showdown against Pittsburgh in Week 18, and were rewarded correctly.
Playing without Jackson, Tyler Huntley was supremely efficient and matched Henry's effectiveness on the ground with eight carries for 60 yards. Henry's efforts foiled an outstanding night from pending free agent quarterback Malik Willis.

On Thursday, Rashod Bateman (illness) and Kyle Van Noy (quad) were non-participants.
DeAndre Hopkins and Roquan Smith were limited participants, while Charlie Kolar, Patrick Ricard, Ronnie Stanley, and Andrew Vorhees were full participants. In the Ravens' Week 16 loss, Jackson was 7-10 passing for 101 yards and a 102.5 rating before exiting. Jackson has dealt with knee, ankle, and toe injuries this season and hasn't had a whole week of practice since the bye week.
Overall, Jackson has thrown for 2,311 yards with 18 touchdowns and six interceptions, while rushing for just 340 yards with two scores and a 63.7 percent completion percentage.
