Jackson was not on the field at the start of Wednesday’s practice, but he has regularly been idle for the first workout of the week in past seasons.
Jackson missed Week 5 recovering from an ankle injury that knocked him out of Baltimore’s Week 4 win over the Titans in the first half.
Tyler Huntley guided Baltimore to a win at Atlanta in Jackson’s absence and will continue to take some reps with the starters this week.
If he’s able to suit up, Jackson will be going head-to-head with former Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken. The current Browns head coach said Wednesday he is preparing “for the Ravens” more than he’s planning to stop Jackson.
Monken did note the Ravens are slightly harder to defend at the moment with Jackson taking more snaps under center. Without a preset launch point in the pocket, defenses have to account for every angle with Jackson and be ready for bulldozing running back Derrick Henry to come straight downhill.
Jackson did not practice last week but head coach Jesse Minter said the Ravens anticipated a shorter-term recovery period.
Last week, Minter left the door open for Jackson to play even without practicing.
