Lamar JacksonQBBAL

Lamar Jackson was a full practice participant and expected to return for Week 8 after hamstring injury. The source expects reduced rushing volume as he recovers, with the Ravens likely to rely more on their ground game through Derrick Henry and 21/22 personnel packages. Jackson is still not fully cleared, which will keep the Ravens balanced and run-heavy rather than forcing a pass-heavy game plan. Despite injury concerns (26th percentile EPA per play vs. Chiefs, missed time, not fully 100% healthy), the source projects upside as a passer against the Bears' weak pass rush: 'Lamar with Monin against this defense, I think can still get there as a passer.' Stacks well with Isaiah Likely as a double-stack option, and Flowers-Lamar is noted as a 'pretty strong single stack.'

Source transcript excerpt
Lamar looks like he's gonna be back. He was a full practice today... we're probably going to see... reduced Lamar rushing. I would assume he's not going to run around like real aggressively off the hamstring injury... Lamar with Monin against this defense, I think can still get there as a passer.
