News emerged from Baltimore on Thursday that quarterback Lamar Jackson missed practice with an illness, but he had no such problems on Friday as he was a full participant. He's confirmed to start against the Chargers on Sunday.
The only confirmed absence from the game will be wide receiver Sammy Watkins, who's recovering from a thigh problem and has not practiced all week.
The safety position is a concern, with DeShon Elliott (quad) and Geno Stone (thigh) both listed as questionable for the game. However, they upgraded from limited to full practice on Friday and all signs point to them being active against Los Angeles. OT Alejandro Villanueva (knee), on the other hand, will be a game-time decision.
