Week 8 appears to be the ultimate fork in the road for the Baltimore Ravens and Chicago Bears.

The two clubs are meeting at Baltimore’s M&T Bank Stadium on Oct. 26 with something to prove. A Chicago win would be the team’s fifth in a row and boost Caleb Williams’ ascendant club to an impressive 5-2.

Meanwhile, Baltimore is looking to climb out from the rubble of their troubling four-game skid. On the bright side, there’s a possibility two-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson returns from his two-week absence due to a hamstring injury. He joined his 1-5 team at practice on Wednesday, Oct. 22.

According to reports, the 28-year-old Louisville alum threw passes and ran on the field.

“He’ll continue to get better and better,” Ravens center Tyler Linderbaum told the press. “We’ll be happy to have him out on the field whenever that is.”

If Jackson sits, it’s likely backup Cooper Rush will start in his place once again.
