Ravens' secret weapon? Lamar Jackson 'absolutely' ready to play

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh declined to say earlier in the week whether quarterback Lamar Jackson would be active in Sunday's season opener against the Buffalo Bills.

If called upon, would Jackson be ready to take the field for a handful of specialty plays?

"Absolutely," Jackson said with a smile. "I’ve been preparing for it through the OTAs, rookie minicamp. I’m just ready."

Jackson, a first-round pick, certainly can be a playmaking wrinkle and a creative spark for a Baltimore offense that finished No.
