Ravens Bring Back Former Super Bowl MVP After Lamar Jackson’s Hamstring Injury

A Final Salute To Ravens' Joe Flacco - PressBox

Baltimore, MD — In a surprise move, the Baltimore Ravens have completed a trade to bring veteran quarterback Joe Flacco back to the team after Lamar Jackson suffered a hamstring injury in their most recent game. The deal was announced on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, sending Ravens fans into a frenzy.

Flacco, who led the Ravens to victory in Super Bowl XLVII and was named the game’s MVP, returns to the franchise he called home from 2008 to 2018. With his extensive experience and familiarity with the Ravens’ system, Flacco is expected to serve as a short-term solution while Jackson recovers.

Jackson’s injury occurred in a narrow loss to an AFC North rival, forcing him to leave the game early. Initial reports indicate he could miss two to four weeks, depending on his recovery timeline. To fill the void, the Ravens’ coaching staff moved quickly, reaching a trade agreement with the team holding Flacco’s rights, though specific terms have not yet been disclosed.

“Joe is part of the Ravens’ history, and his return is a valuable addition to our roster during a difficult time,” head coach John Harbaugh said. “We trust Joe’s leadership and experience to help keep us competitive.”

Now 40, Flacco has spent seasons with the Denver Broncos, New York Jets, and most recently in a backup role since leaving Baltimore. While no longer at his peak, he’s still respected for his poise and decision-making under pressure.

Ravens fans are eagerly anticipating Flacco’s reunion with his former team. The Ravens’ next game could offer him a chance to prove he can still make a difference. Meanwhile, the team’s medical staff is working diligently to ensure Jackson can return as soon as possible.

Flacco’s comeback is certain to be one of the week’s biggest storylines around the NFL. Can “Joe Cool” recapture flashes of his former glory? We’re about to find out.

Steelers Linked To Saints SuperStar With 5x Pro Bowl & 2x All-Pro in Blockbuster Trade
Pittsburgh, PA — According to a  circulating on X (Twitter), the Pittsburgh Steelers have been “linked” to Alvin Kamara—the New Orleans Saints superstar, five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro—as a potential target ahead of the trade deadline. The speculation has heated up as various outlets have also floated Kamara as a logical “fit” should the Steelers look to add a versatile, late-season playmaker on offense. At 30, Kamara is a rare dual-threat RB who excels as both a runner and receiver. He tied the NFL single-game record with six rushing touchdowns (Christmas Day 2020 vs. the Vikings), and he has recently been recognized as the Saints’ all-time leader in rushing yards. Across his career: 5× Pro Bowl, 2× Second-Team All-Pro, and a skill set that meshes with Pittsburgh’s motion/spacing concepts—screens, angle/choice routes, safe check-downs, and short play-action. Tactically, if a move ever materialized, Kamara would immediately put stress on short-to-intermediate coverages, force defenses to roll a safety, and give Pittsburgh intriguing two-back looks alongside Najee Harris on 3rd-and-medium and in the red zone. In this hypothetical scenario, Kamara voices a desire for a fresh challenge after hitting so many personal milestones in New Orleans: “I’ve achieved just about everything with the Saints, and I want a new challenge for myself. What could be better than a team competing directly for a Super Bowl? Just thinking about wearing Black and Gold really excites me.” As of now, there has been no official confirmation from the Steelers or the Saints regarding any talks. Still, Kamara’s résumé and toolbox explain why his name is quickly paired with Pittsburgh whenever rumors of an offensive upgrade surface. With 5× Pro Bowls, 2× All-Pro honors, and a proven knack for tilting games as both a runner and receiver, even a whisper on social media is enough to make Steelers Nation perk up.
