Ravens’ Lamar Jackson Sidelined from Practice Due to Ankle Injury
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is sidelined from practice due to an ankle injury. This marks the second consecutive week Jackson has missed practice, with the previous week being linked to knee soreness.
Lamar Jackson’s Injury Status
The Ravens did not include Jackson in practice on Wednesday, raising concerns ahead of their upcoming game. Coach John Harbaugh confirmed that Jackson’s situation is similar to last week, where he missed Wednesday but returned later to practice. “I understand how important it is,” Harbaugh commented, emphasizing the importance of evaluating Jackson’s readiness daily.
Season Performance
- This season, Jackson has been sacked an average of 3.2 times per game, the highest in his eight-year career.
- During the recent game against the Cleveland Browns, he was sacked five times, four of which were by Myles Garrett.
- Jackson has also faced challenges with performance, completing 57.4% of his throws for an average of 184.5 yards in the last two games.
- He recorded no touchdown passes and two interceptions in his latest outing, resulting in a passer rating of 47.6, the second-lowest of his career.
Throughout the current season, Jackson’s struggles have been compounded by missing three games due to a hamstring injury. Overall, he has been absent for eight practices this season.
Upcoming Game
The Ravens currently hold a 5-5 record and are preparing to face the New York Jets, who sit at 2-8, this Sunday. Despite Jackson’s struggles, Coach Harbaugh remains optimistic about the quarterback’s ability to lead the team. “Lamar is winning games,” Harbaugh remarked, underscoring the importance of securing victories regardless of individual statistics.
