What happened: Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson carries a questionable designation after missing three and a half games since sustaining a high ankle sprain in the first half of a Week 4 win over the Tennessee Titans. After sitting out all practices in Weeks 5 and 6, Jackson returned to limited workouts ahead of Week 7 and stated on Oct. 23 that he was "headed in the right direction" while waiting until he felt like himself to take the field. Jackson also pushed back on social media criticism regarding his recovery timeline after missing Sunday's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Why it matters: Baltimore's two-game skid dropped the club to the bottom of the AFC North and ninth place in the conference standings entering November. Stabilizing the quarterback position is critical as the Ravens face a road test against second-seeded Buffalo.

What to watch: Baltimore visits the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, Nov. 1, in Week 8, with final injury designations and Friday practice participation set to clarify Jackson's official status.
