Jackson hasn’t had a full week of practice in a month due to knee, ankle, and toe injuries. He’s hoping to come out sharper against the Steelers after he had three turnovers in the Ravens’ Thanksgiving loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Ravens offense has been sluggish in recent weeks and Jackson hasn’t thrown a touchdown pass in the last three games. The Steelers defense, which ranks 28th in the league, could give Jackson and the Ravens another chance to get on the right track offensively.
Top cornerback Nate Wiggins will play against the Steelers after suffering a foot injury against the Bengals on Thanksgiving. Wiggins returned to full practice on Friday.
Wide receivers Rashod Bateman (ankle) and Devontez Walker (groin) both also returned to full practice Friday and will play against the Steelers.
Left tackle Ronnie Stanley was the only other Ravens player missing from Friday’s practice, but that was only a rest day. Defensive tackle Travis Jones, who missed Thursday’s practice due to personal reasons, returned a day later.
