Omarion Hampton
Pro Football Doc says Omarion Hampton’s lower-body injury looks worse than first thought. After reviewing the video, it appears both ankles may have been affected, which explains why he remains in a boot. If that’s the case, he’s not close to returning, and recovery could take longer than originally anticipated. There’s no official update yet, but signs point to at least another week or two before Hampton can resume football activity.
Puka Nacua
According to Pro Football Doc, Puka Nacua is on track to return in Week 9, just as expected before the Rams’ bye.
Bryce Young
Bryce Young is progressing and expected to practice on Wednesday after running sessions early last week. Pro Football Doc expects Young to play in Week 9.
Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins has an AC joint injury, but the bye week comes at the perfect time. With rest and possibly an injection, he’s projected to play in two weeks after the Browns bye week.
Joe Flacco
Joe Flacco, Dr. Chao believes he likely suffered a mild AC joint sprain and may have received an injection after precautionary X-rays. He’s expected to play in Week 9, though he could be limited or listed as DNP in practice.
Lamar Jackson
Pro Football Doc reports that Lamar Jackson is set to play Thursday, despite last week’s limited practice time. Dr. Chao noted that John Harbaugh may have used the situation as motivation, calling him a “master motivator” and a “great poker player” who keeps everyone guessing. In this case, there’s no bluff — Lamar is healthy and ready to start Week 9.
