Do not fret, Baltimore Ravens fans: Lamar Jackson is back.

After being sidelined for two days, the superstar quarterback was spotted throwing at Friday's practice. Coach John Harbaugh said earlier in the week that Jackson was down with an illness that isn't COVID-19 related.

The Ravens tweeted a video of Jackson warming up, perhaps to put their fan base at ease before Sunday's game against the Bears.

The Ravens QB said after practice that he's good to go against Chicago and that he's dealing with cold-like symptoms.

"Way better than I was a couple day ago," Jackson said of his status. "I'm feeling great."

Jackson has been one of the league's most valuable players through 10 weeks, having already topped 3,000 yards passing and rushing while leading a banged-up Baltimore offense. It's a unit that basically goes as he goes, which largely explains last week's 22-10 loss to the Dolphins in which the dual-threat QB struggled through the air and ran for just 39 yards.

With Jackson on track to go in Week 11, the Ravens (6-3) and their offense are that much more likely to get back on track in Chicago.
