John Harbaugh is preaching caution about the injury status of Lamar Jackson, with the head coach of the Baltimore Ravens explaining why the franchise quarterback didn’t practice on Wednesday, November 19.
This is the second week in a row Jackson missed a Wednesday practice, and Harbaugh confirmed the Ravens are keeping a close eye on the two-time NFL MVP’s injured ankle. Harbaugh told reporters, including ESPN’s Jamison Hensley, “I know it’s Lamar, it’s our quarterback. I understand how important it is and it wasn’t his best interest of practice today. And we’ll see where we’re at [Thursday].”
The use of the phrase “best interest” is likely to fuel more speculation about Jackson’s health. Particularly when Harbaugh identifying an ankle problem only added another ailment to an expanding list of reasons to worry about the Ravens’ most important player.
Those causes of concern were spelled out by Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, who pointed out, “So now, it’s been hamstring, knee last week and ankle this week.”
Jackson facing this many issues means Harbaugh and his staff will have to continue easing the workload on their QB1 between games. Any unnecessary risks would surely jeopardize the momentum of Baltimore’s streak of four victories in a row.
Jackson has played his part, but his impact has been more tangential than direct. Fortunately, Harbaugh delivered more promising news about another member of the offense.
