Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was absent from practice Wednesday and Thursday, and he probably won’t participate Friday either. He’s expected to miss a game and possibly two — or three — because of his injured knee, which ESPN reports is a sprained PCL.
Combined with the four games he missed last season because of a bone bruise in his ankle, injuries should be a concern for both team officials and Jackson when the sides meet this offseason for contract negotiations.
There is no need to panic. Jackson is only 25 years old, but the injuries have to be accounted for when a team considers making a running quarterback its franchise player for the next four or five years.
