What happened: Minter described Lamar Jackson's Wednesday session following his Week 4 ankle injury as "preparation," noting the two-time MVP left the field out of uniform. Center Cam Jurgens (concussion) logged his first full practice with Baltimore since an Oct. 7 trade from the Philadelphia Eagles, joining tight end Mark Andrews and outside linebacker Trey Hendrickson (finger) as full participants. Outside linebacker Tavius Robinson (pectoral) and defensive lineman Calais Campbell (rest) did not practice, while Ronnie Stanley, Rashod Bateman, John Simpson, Andrew Vorhees, Jaylinn Hawkins, Matthew Hibner, and T.J. Tampa were limited.

Why it matters: Wednesday marked the first shared on-field work between Jackson and Jurgens, giving the pair initial reps to establish line-of-scrimmage communication before Sunday's divisional game. Robinson's absence on the edge removes Baltimore's top pass rusher and a primary run-stopper, which would elevate undrafted rookie Ethan Burke into a larger defensive role. Across the matchup, the Cincinnati Bengals exit their bye week with safety Kyle Dugger (quad) as their lone limited participant.

By the numbers: Tavius Robinson leads the Ravens with 3.5 sacks this season, while rookie Ethan Burke recorded two pressures across three pass-rushing snaps last Sunday. Cincinnati safety Kyle Dugger logged 41 defensive snaps and 49 special teams snaps over his first three games before suffering his quad injury.

What to watch: Baltimore will issue Thursday and Friday injury designations ahead of Sunday's Week 7 home matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, where Cam Jurgens is positioned to make his Ravens debut.
