BALTIMORE (WBFF) — The Ravens’ season opener against the Buffalo Bills lingers less than two weeks away, and quarterback Lamar Jackson was back at practice Monday as expected after getting his foot stepped on and leaving early last week. Whether his former college teammate and new cornerback Jaire Alexander will also be ready for Week 1, however, is a little more murky.

Alexander, who has been dealing with a knee injury, was again absent from practice on Monday afternoon in Owings Mills, marking more than two weeks since he has suited up.

But coach John Harbaugh said that he expects Alexander, along with a number of others who have been banged up of late, to be back on the field next Monday.

Baltimore has two more practices this week on Tuesday and Wednesday followed by four days off. Players will then return for the first full week of practice of the regular season.
