The Baltimore Ravens finally have a definitive understanding of the injury that forced franchise quarterback Lamar Jackson out of practice on Wednesday, August 20, a problem that left the two-time NFL MVP needing an X-ray.
Head coach John Harbaugh didn’t leave reporters and nervous fans waiting long to discover the results of the procedure. Harbaugh told the media on Thursday how Jackson’s X-ray didn’t show any damage to the dual-threat signal-caller’s foot, “He’s fine” and “prayers do get answered,” per ESPN’s Jamison Hensley.
This is the news everyone connected with the Ravens wanted to hear. Namely that there’s nothing to worry about regarding the one player who remains essential to the team not wasting an open, but time-limited Super Bowl window.
Jackson is maturing every year into one of the most accurate and sophisticated passers in the game. The 28-year-old is also still arguably the most dynamic rushing quarterback no defensive player relishes trying to corral.
For all his talents, Jackson also boasts an unwanted and lengthy injury history that naturally raised concern when his foot was stepped on during Wednesday’s session. Fortunately, now Harbaugh and his staff can concentrate on keeping their marquee player out of harm’s way for the preseason finale against the Washington Commanders at Northwest Stadium on Saturday, August 23.
Jackson resting his foot will again put the spotlight on a battle of unconvincing backup QBs who still need to impress.
