Lamar Jackson Full Participant Wednesday, Listed Questionable for Weekend

Lamar Jackson's left ankle continues to track in the right direction — he was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, the strongest functional signal we've seen in this injury thread. The grade remains inferred as Grade 1 (mild ligamentous sprain) based on his consistent availability throughout this window, and the Questionable designation at this point appears to be more administrative than clinical.

The injury was established on October 4, meaning Jackson is now 24 days — roughly 3.5 weeks — into what the biology pegs as a 1–3 week window for a Grade 1 ankle sprain. Full practice participation at this stage of recovery is exactly where you'd expect an athlete of his caliber to be, and frankly it's where the biology says he should be. The tissue has had adequate time to progress through the early inflammatory and proliferative healing phases.

The NFL reference here is important: a Questionable tag preceded by a full Wednesday practice is a well-documented path to a player who suits up Sunday. The Wed→Thu→Fri trajectory is the key signal to watch — if he holds at full or limited participation through Friday, the probability of him playing is high. The biology is no longer the limiting factor. This is a watch-the-practice-report situation, not a watch-the-injury situation.
