""I told him to take all the games, pingpong, turn off the TVs -- if we could have taken out the TVs they'd have been out of here, too," Jackson said. "I appreciate Mr. Steve [Bisciotti, Ravens owner] for putting that in for us, but we had to focus.

Lamar Jackson will return from a right hamstring injury to start Thursday night's game in Miami. The Ravens sit at 2-5, creating little margin for error and requiring a win-or-go-home approach each week. Jackson emphasized urgency and leadership despite missing three games.

The games will remain out for the rest of the season and could return for spring offseason workouts.
