ExtremeRavens Posted Wednesday at 06:33 PM Posted Wednesday at 06:33 PM Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was absent from Wednesday’s practice in Owings Mills with a knee injury, coach John Harbaugh said. Harbaugh said that Jackson had some soreness coming out of Sunday’s win over the Minnesota Vikings and “should be OK” to practice Thursday. The first injury report of the week will be issued later Wednesday afternoon. It marks the first time that Jackson has missed a practice since returning from a hamstring injury Oct. 22. The two-time NFL Most Valuable Player was 17 of 29 passing for 176 yards and a touchdown and had 36 rushing yards on nine carries in a win over the Vikings on Sunday but appeared to be possibly dinged up after the game. In that game, he also took a hard hit from outside linebacker Dallas Turner, who was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct after driving Jackson into the turf on the play. Jackson has already missed three games this season because of a hamstring injury that he suffered in the third quarter of a Week 4 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Ravens lost each of their next two games with Cooper Rush at quarterback before Tyler Huntley got the start in a Week 8 win over the Chicago Bears. Four days later, Jackson returned and threw four touchdown passes to lead Baltimore to a 28-6 win over the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium. The Ravens will play the Browns in Cleveland on Sunday. Jackson’s availability for that game remains to be seen. Jackson was one of a handful of players missing. Also not practicing was wide receiver Rashod Bateman, who is already not expected to play Sunday because of a high ankle sprain, according to a source with direct knowledge of the situation. Others not in attendance included running back Justice Hill, cornerback Marlon Humphrey and rookie linebacker Jay Higgins IV. Humphrey had surgery on his injured finger and will miss Sunday’s game, Harbaugh said. Since Jackson returned two games ago, he has completed 35 of 52 passes for 380 yards and five touchdowns and rushed for 50 yards on 14 carries. This article will be updated. Have a news tip?
