ExtremeRavens Posted October 31 Posted October 31 Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was absent for a second straight practice Thursday in Owings Mills. Though coach John Harbaugh said on Wednesday that Jackson was given a rest day, he later showed up on Baltimore’s injury report with back and knee injuries. This marks the third practice he has missed this season after also being absent from the team’s first practice following its season-opening loss to the Kansas City Chiefs last month. The Ravens (5-3) are coming off an embarrassing 29-24 defeat to the Cleveland Browns and face the Denver Broncos (5-3) on Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium before a “Thursday Night Football” showdown against the visiting Cincinnati Bengals four days later. In that loss to Cleveland, Jackson completed 23 of 38 passes for 289 and two touchdowns but was also sacked a season-high three times and took more hits while rushing for 46 yards on eight carries. Jackson hasn’t missed a game because of injury since 2022 when he suffered a sprained PCL in a Week 13 win over the Broncos. He ended up missing the final five games of the regular season and a wild-card playoff game against the Bengals that the Ravens lost with backup Tyler Huntley under center. Veteran Josh Johnson, 38, is the Ravens’ backup quarterback and hasn’t started a game since 2021. This article will be updated. Have a news tip?
