ExtremeRavens Posted July 23 Posted July 23 Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson missed his third straight training camp practice Tuesday but could be back on the field soon. “I’m sure he’s closer to getting out there than he was. It’s just a matter of when the doctors are going to clear him and he’s going to feel good enough,” coach John Harbaugh said. Jackson, the reigning NFL Most Valuable Player, was sent home from the team’s practice facility in Owings Mills on Sunday with an undisclosed illness. The 27-year-old superstar had been at practice earlier last week, with quarterbacks and injured veterans having reported to training camp July 15. “He came in yesterday with something off,” Harbaugh said Sunday. “We tried to get some fluids in him and he just wasn’t able to go.” Backup Josh Johnson, a 38-year-old veteran, and Devin Leary, a rookie sixth-round draft pick from Kentucky, have received the bulk of the snaps in Jackson’s absence. Undrafted rookie Emory Jones, who played at Florida, Arizona State and Cincinnati, is also on the roster. The Ravens will practice again Wednesday, Friday and Saturday this week. They open the preseason Aug. 9 against the Philadelphia Eagles at 7:30 p.m. and kick off the regular season Sept. 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. This story might be updated.
