ExtremeRavens Posted July 24 Posted July 24 Lamar Jackson is back. The star quarterback and two-time NFL Most Valuable Player made his first appearance of training camp Wednesday afternoon in Owings Mills after missing the first three days of practice with an illness. Jackson was at the team’s facility Saturday, but was sent home from meetings after not feeling well. He was also on hand when quarterbacks reported July 15 ahead of the start of training camp. Coach John Harbaugh said Tuesday of Jackson’s extended absence that it was “just a matter of when the doctors are going to clear him and he’s going to feel good enough.” QB1 is back pic.twitter.com/ovAR1XuuYT — Baltimore Ravens (@Ravens) July 24, 2024 Backup quarterback Josh Johnson, a 38-year-old veteran; Devin Leary, a rookie sixth-round draft pick from Kentucky; and undrafted rookie Emory Jones, who played at Florida, Arizona State and Cincinnati, have received the bulk of the snaps in Jackson’s absence this week. Jackson, 27, is coming off his second MVP award in five years after setting career highs in passing yards and completion percentage while leading the Ravens to an NFL-best 13-4 regular-season record and an appearance in the AFC championship game. Baltimore opens its season Sept. 5 at Arrowhead Stadium against the Kansas City Chiefs in a rematch of that playoff matchup. Jackson has a 1-4 record against the Chiefs, including last season’s 17-10 season-ending loss at M&T Bank Stadium. View the full article Quote
