Lamar Jackson Sits Out Ravens Practice Following Injury Scare

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson did not participate in practice on Thursday, a day after leaving early due to a minor injury concern. Jackson exited the field during Wednesday’s session, approximately 40 minutes before it concluded, and was escorted into the team’s facility by medical staff.

According to a team spokesman, the incident occurred when Jackson had his foot stepped on but reports indicate that he is “fine.” The two-time NFL Most Valuable Player was knocked to the ground during team drills, yet he managed to throw a few additional passes before departing the field. Observers noted that Jackson appeared to be flexing his right wrist prior to leaving.

This marks the first practice that Jackson has missed due to injury during this year’s training camp. Notably, he has not been sidelined for a regular-season game since the conclusion of the 2022 season. The Ravens are scheduled to wrap up their preseason on Saturday against Washington, and Jackson has not participated in a preseason game for four years.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh is expected to address the media following Thursday’s practice, providing further updates on Jackson’s condition. The Ravens will open their regular season in just 17 days, facing the Buffalo Bills in an eagerly anticipated matchup.

As the Ravens prepare for the upcoming season, the health and performance of their star quarterback will be crucial for their success. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how Jackson rebounds from this recent scare.
