Lamar Jackson

Lamar Jackson (knee/back) did not practice on Thursday.

Head coach John Harbaugh said Jackson’s absence on Wednesday was due to rest, but there won’t be any downplaying two straight missed practices with knee/back issues. Lamar and the Ravens get the Broncos in Week 9 and then have a quick turnaround to prepare for the Bengals on Thursday night in Week 10. We won’t press the panic alarm just yet, but Friday’s practice will prove very important for Jackson’s Week 9 availability.
