The short week before the Thanksgiving game against the rival Cincinnati Bengals makes physical recovery tougher, but it didn't stop three of the Ravens' most critical players from returning to the field Tuesday.
Quarterback Lamar Jackson, safety Kyle Hamilton, and nose tackle Travis Jones returned to practice Tuesday, a good sign for their availability on short rest.
Jackson (toe) missed Monday's walk-through practice with a third different ailment in as many weeks. But each week he has returned the next day and played.
"I just got fell on. I'm good though. Toe's good," Jackson said.
Hamilton tweaked his ankle late in the fourth quarter of the Ravens' win over the New York Jets. He's a critical chess piece in Baltimore's defense, which will have its hands full against the Bengals' potent offense.
"He looked good today," Head Coach John Harbaugh said, adding that he expects Hamilton to be a full participant.
Jones (ankle) is a massive part of the Ravens' defensive front and will be key in slowing down Bengals running back Chase Brown.
Wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) and cornerback Keyon Martin (ribs) are also practicing for a second straight day. Bateman has missed the past two games, but Harbaugh said he "looks good" to return to game a
The only two Ravens missing from practice Tuesday are running back Justice Hill and defensive tackle Taven Bryan (knee), who may go on short-term injured reserve.
