![The most important development of the weekend was Jackson's return to practice on Saturday from the Reserve/COVID-19 list.

![The 32-year pass rusher chose the Ravens over several teams, including the rival Pittsburgh Steelers. With 97.5 career sacks, Houston adds a very particular set of skills as a pass rusher with a proven track record.

![Tavon Young Looks 100 Percent
Returning from a season-ending knee injury, Young says he's playing with no fear and it looks that way. His coverage was tight and his change of direction was quick.

![The Secondary Stood Out

![Mark Andrews' Intensity Elevates Practice
The defense has been having a hard time keeping Andrews from getting open. Even when the tight end makes a mistake, like losing a fumble Saturday, he bounces back looking more determined.

Andrews seems driven to have a Pro Bowl season.](https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/private/t_new_photo_album/t_lazy/f_auto/ravens/dox0gprpgskpjflyewnk.jpg)

![Gus Edwards Looks Good
Edwards missed seven practices on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, but when he returned, it looked as if he had never been away.

![Justin Madubuike Keeps Impressing
Teammates and coaches are excited about the second-year defensive lineman and it's easy to see why.

![Odafe Oweh Is Learning Fast
Oweh's quickness is well-documented, but the first week of padded practices gave him a chance to show his physicality and an ability to set the edge. Oweh has the potential to be a complete outside linebacker, not just a pass rusher. Week 2 of camp was another positive step for the first-round pick.](https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/private/t_new_photo_album/t_lazy/f_auto/ravens/jsrsbs1ld7esoulhkqjn.jpg)

![Tyler Huntley/Trace McSorley Continued Their Close Competition
The battle between Huntley and McSorley to be Jackson's backup will continue, but both young quarterbacks got valuable reps when Jackson was sidelined.
