Lamar Jackson injury update: Adam Schefter shares latest after missed practice for Ravens' QB

Lamar Jackson missed practice on Wednesday for the Baltimore Ravens as he continues to manage pain and soreness after returning from injury in Week 9. However, ESPN’s Adam Schefter isn’t expecting that development to lead to him being sidelined again.

After yesterday’s news, Schefter spoke on Jackson’s status while on ‘Get Up’ on Thursday morning. He said everything he is hearing suggests that Baltimore’s quarterback will be back on the practice field today, with that setting him up to play in Week 11 with a divisional matchup on the road against the Cleveland Browns.

“Missed practice yesterday due to knee soreness, but he is expected to be back at practice today, according to the Ravens. And, my sources tell me the Ravens are going to be honest on the injury report after they were fined the last time for some of those injury report shenanigans,” Schefter said. “And so, if they say he’s back at practice today, that means he’s going to be back at practice today, and that means he is on track to play Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, despite what prevented him from practicing yesterday.”

With him missing practice, Jackson was listed on the injury report yesterday for the Ravens. It designated him as a did not participate due to his knee, with his legs being what have limited him to just two games played over the last month and a half.

Jackson has appeared in just five games this season due to injury, with him specifically missing three games with a hamstring issue from Week 5 to Week 8. The team was also hit with a $100,000 fine in that time by the NFL for how it designated Jackson’s status.

In a pair of road wins since his return against the Miami Dolphins and Minnesota Vikings, Jackson is 35-52 (67.3%) for 380 passing yards, five touchdowns, and no interceptions, while rushing for only 50 yards. That brings him, over six games played now this year, to stats of a career-best completion rate of 70.1% for 208.2 passing yards per game, 15 touchdowns, and a lone pick, while rushing for just one score on a career-low of 36 yards per game.

The Ravens are in the midst of a turnaround of their season with three straight wins since their bye, including the last two since their quarterback’s return, to now be 4-5. Now, they seemingly won’t have to worry about another absence by him as they try to continue that win streak on Sunday, based on the latest this morning from Schefter on Jackson.
