What happened: Jaylinn Hawkins returned to practice Wednesday after missing three consecutive games due to a knee injury. The safety participated in Baltimore's workout as the team resumed on-field preparations. Hawkins was previously sidelined for Baltimore's 33-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Nov. 5.
Why it matters: Hawkins' return bolsters Baltimore's secondary depth following back-to-back defeats. Reintegrating experienced defensive backs is crucial as the 4-3 squad manages multiple defensive injuries down the stretch.
By the numbers: Hawkins has recorded 30 tackles in 2026 through 6 games.
What to watch: Baltimore's practice participation reports over the next two days will clarify Hawkins' game status heading into the weekend.
