What happened: Ja'Kobi Lane is expected to return to practice Wednesday after a wrist fracture sidelined the rookie receiver. Lamar Jackson has a realistic chance to start Sunday at Cleveland.

Why it matters: Jackson threw 21 touchdowns in 13 games in 2025 for Baltimore, so his availability sets the offense. Lane's return restores depth at receiver after a month-long absence.

What to watch: Watch Wednesday participation for Lane and late-week status for Jackson before Sunday at Cleveland.
