Lamar Jackson Returns to Practice, Ravens Updates & Patriots Preview

In today's episode of The Flock Rundown, we break down Thursday's Ravens injury report and the return of several key players to practice, including Lamar Jackson, Roquan Smith, and Ronnie Stanley, as Baltimore gets healthier at the right time. We dive into the Ravens vs. Patriots uniform combinations ahead of Sunday's matchup and hear from defensive coordinator Zach Orr, who shares his thoughts on Drake Maye's impressive season and the challenge he presents. We also hear from Lamar Jackson on the importance of starting fast, spreading the ball around, and getting more receivers involved early. Plus, we discuss why the run game becomes even more critical in cold-weather football, with Todd Monken explaining how the Ravens historically find their rhythm late in the season — especially with Derrick Henry leading the charge. Defensively, Zach Orr speaks on Trenton Simpson's growth and why the coaching staff is confident in him stepping into a larger role with Teddye Buchanan sidelined. We close by breaking down the Patriots matchup, why defending home turf matters, and what this game means for the Ravens as they look to keep momentum rolling. Learn more about your ad choices.
