ExtremeRavens Posted August 20 Posted August 20 The Ravens suffered a scare Wednesday afternoon when quarterback Lamar Jackson left practice with an apparent injury a little more than halfway through the two-hour session. Jackson was knocked down on a passing play during a full-team period against the scout team defense, was helped up by left tackle Ronnie Stanley and stayed in for a few more plays, but appeared to be flexing his wrist or throwing arm. He then left the field with strength and conditioning coordinator Scott Elliott at 2:25 p.m. A team spokesperson said after practice that Jackson’s foot was stepped on and that the two-time NFL Most Valuable Player is “fine.” Coach John Harbaugh was not available to reporters. Offensive coordinator Todd Monken said that he did not see what happened. Wide receiver Tylan Wallace, who also met with reporters after practice, said that he did not see what happened to Jackson either but added, “I was thinking he’s just probably resting his arm. … Obviously keep him in our prayers and everything, hope he’s doing great … but I’m sure Lamar being Lamar, he’ll be back sooner before we know it.” Before leaving, Jackson, who is entering his eighth season and coming off career highs in touchdown passes (41) and passing yards (4,172), had been having an up-and-down day, including missing on several short throws. He completed a long pass to rookie LaJohntay Wester after being knocked down, but his final pass of the day, to running back Keaton Mitchell in the flat, was well off target. Jackson has missed only one training camp practice, on Aug. 4 for pre-planned personal reasons. He has not played in the preseason since 2021, and Harbaugh said earlier this week he will not play in Baltimore’s preseason finale Saturday at the Washington Commanders. The Ravens have one more open practice scheduled for this week before Friday’s walk-through, followed by three more practices next week beginning on Monday. Baltimore opens its season Sept. 7 in a divisional round playoff rematch against the host Buffalo Bills. Jackson has not missed a game because of injury since he suffered a knee injury in 2022 during a Week 13 game against the Denver Broncos. The injury kept him out for the remainder of the regular season as well as the Ravens’ wild-card game against the host Cincinnati Bengals. Have a news tip?
