Lamar Jackson injury update: Ravens QB misses 2nd day of practice

Baltimore Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson (back/knee) sat out practice again on Thursday after also being sidelined for Wednesday’s session.

When he spoke to media members after Wednesday’s practice session, Ravens coach John Harbaugh described Jackson’s absence as a “rest” day. When the injury report was released later in the day, Jackson was listed with back and knee injuries.

With Jackson missing practice again on Thursday, the quarterback’s status is worth monitoring going into Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos. Baltimore will have one more practice this week on Friday.

After facing the Broncos on Nov. 3, the Ravens have a Thursday Night Football matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals on Nov. 7. So Jackson will have a short week to recover if he does play against Denver in Week 9.

If Jackson is not able to play against the Broncos on Sunday, Josh Johnson would be the next man up at quarterback. Baltimore also has Devin Leary available on the practice squad.

Sunday’s game will be regionally televised on CBS (TV broadcast map). Playing on the road, Denver is considered a big underdog in Week 9.
