W eek 9 in the NFL kicks off with the Baltimore Ravens (2-5) traveling to South Beach for a game against the Miami Dolphins (2-6). Each won in convincing fashion a week ago but more W’s are needed if these teams are to truly compete for a playoff berth.

“Getting a lot more guys back healthy and playing, it just feels like it's like a fresh new start for us,” said fullback Patrick Ricard, who returned from a calf injury to make his season debut.

Head coach John Harbaugh told reporters after Sunday's win over the Bears he felt "very confident" Jackson would be available to play against the Dolphins.

The Baltimore Ravens listed Lamar Jackson as a full participant in practice Tuesday — and the star quarterback also spoke to reporters.
