Harbaugh then changed Jackson to a limited participant on Saturday, and that has created some controversy since Tyler Huntley got the nod to start against Chicago.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>John Harbaugh Addresses Controversy About Lamar Jackson<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_5564588\">\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2229071071-e1761520918474.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all\" alt=\"Ravens HC John Harbaugh Addresses Lamar Jackson Controversy After Win\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5564588\" data-lazy-load=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-5564588\">GettyQuarterback Lamar Jackson #8 and head coach John Harbaugh of the Baltimore Ravens.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>With Harbaugh creating some controversy with Jackson\u2019s status change, the Ravens\u2019 head coach addressed the topic after getting the win over the Bears on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not involved in those rules,\u201d Harbaugh said during the postgame press conference. \u201cI don\u2019t know those particular rules. That was probably, I think in their defense, you know, he practiced a full practice. I think they felt like, because he did the same number of reps, it was a full practice. But when you dig in and you read the rule, at the end of the day, it wasn\u2019t right. So that\u2019s what it was. That\u2019s why as soon as we found out, we changed it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harbaugh believes it was nothing more than an \u201chonest mistake,\u201d which he and the team tried to fix.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt really is an honest mistake. I can tell you this: Nobody\u2019s trying to hide anything. There\u2019s no advantage to be gained with that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019ll be interesting to see if the NFL elects to punish the Ravens for the mistake, which will likely be determined early next week.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, the Ravens appear to be back on track offensively, after scoring only three points in the loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Huntley got the job done, passing for 186 yards and one touchdown while rushing for 53 yards on eight carries.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Can the Ravens Salvage Their Season?<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_5564594\">\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2237030722-e1761521281656.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all\" alt=\"Ravens HC John Harbaugh Addresses Lamar Jackson Controversy After Win\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5564594\" data-lazy-load=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-5564594\">GettyLamar Jackson #8 of the Baltimore Ravens.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>With the win over the Bears in the books, the Ravens are sitting at 2-5 heading into Week 9\u2019s matchup on the road against the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium on Thurs. Oct. 30.<\/p>\n<p>If Jackson is ready to go, the team is in an ideal position to bounce back with a vengeance and put together a string of wins. The Dolphins are coming off an impressive win against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 8, but there\u2019s no question that Baltimore is the better all-around team.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the Jackson-led Ravens have a chance to secure the win on the road in a short week while taking advantage of a struggling Miami squad. It will be the first of three straight road games, which will all be against teams currently sitting below .500, starting with the Dolphins (2-5), Minnesota Vikings (3-4) and Cleveland Browns (2-6)<\/p>\n<p>Baltimore will have a chance to turn things around before it\u2019s too late, as they\u2019ll be expected to win all three of these road games, especially if a healthy Jackson is back under center.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Ward is a longtime credentialed writer covering the NBA and NFL.
