What happened: Jackson is on track to return for Sunday's Week 8 matchup against Buffalo after missing multiple weeks with the ankle injury, per Ian Rapoport. Baltimore officially lists its starting quarterback as questionable heading into the weekend.

Why it matters: The Ravens have dropped two straight games to fall into the No. 9 spot in the AFC, sitting just outside the current playoff field. Returning their 2018 first-round pick stabilizes the offense ahead of a conference test against the No. 2 seed.

By the numbers: Baltimore enters Week 8 at 4-3 following a 35-13 loss on Oct. 25, while Buffalo holds a 5-1 record and a two-game winning streak after a 33-30 victory on Oct. 18.

What to watch: Baltimore's final Week 8 injury designations and Sunday's pregame inactive list will confirm Jackson's return to the starting lineup against the Bills.
