The Baltimore Ravens activated star quarterback Lamar Jackson from the reserve/COVID-19 list, a boost ahead of Tuesday's NFL showdown with the Dallas Cowboys.
Jackson has been in self-isolation for 10 days after testing positive for coronavirus – the reigning MVP missed the rescheduled clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers last week amid a COVID-19 outbreak within the Baltimore franchise.
But Jackson is back in the mix and reportedly set to start in another rescheduled encounter against the Cowboys (3-8).
The Ravens (6-5) – who also activated fullback Patrick Ricard, long snapper Morgan Cox and defensive tackle Justin Madubuike – are looking to snap a three-game losing streak as they eye a third consecutive playoff berth.
Jackson took the NFL by storm last season, but he has struggled to reach those lofty heights in 2020.
Through 10 games this term, Jackson has tallied 175 completions, 1,948 yards, 15 touchdowns and six interceptions.
Jackson ranks 26th for completions, 26th for completion percentage (63.4), 24th for passing yards and 20th for touchdowns.
Drafted by the Ravens in the first round with the 32nd overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, Jackson has amassed 6,276 passing yards for 57 touchdowns during his stint with the team.
