What happened: Lamar Jackson was listed as a full participant Thursday. Puka Nacua returned to practice and is officially questionable for Week 4. Justin Jefferson also sat out, keeping three marquee names on the late-week injury board.

Why it matters: Jackson's status matters for a Ravens offense built around the former first-round quarterback. Nacua's availability carries weight after a 2025 season that made him one of the league's highest-volume receivers, and late-week injury tags can reshape fantasy lineups across the weekend.

By the numbers: Jackson completed 192 of 302 passes for 2,549 yards with 21 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 13 games in 2025. Nacua caught 129 passes for 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns in 16 games in 2025.

What to watch: Watch Friday's final practice reports and game designations before the Week 4 slate locks. Nacua's status remains the clearest decision point after Thursday's update.
