Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson has regularly attended prescribed rehabilitation and treatment procedures for his injured knee and is on target to return within the four- to six-week recovery window as far as team trainers and physicians are concerned, according to a league source.
The source wouldn’t make a prediction about when Jackson would step back on the playing field but said the quarterback has been perfect in his attendance and compliant with all rehab practices as he recovers from a knee sprain he suffered in the first quarter against the Denver Broncos on Dec. 4.
Jackson hasn’t practiced since the injury, missing his 11th straight session on Thursday as the Ravens prepare for a Sunday night game against the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers. According to the source, Jackson’s time frame to return isn’t any different from most players who suffer knee sprains, though a few have come back in three weeks.
