Ravens Share Ankle Injury Update on QB Lamar Jackson
The Ravens quarterback left Sunday's win over the Titans early with an ankle injury.
The Baltimore Ravens shared an update on quarterback Lamar Jackson's injury after their game against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Jackson suffered the injury in the second quarter when Titans defensive end Jermaine Johnson II tackled him, causing Jackson to become off balance. The tackle resulted in Jackson twisting his ankle.
Initially, Jackson was listed as questionable to return, but he was ultimately ruled out for the remainder of the contest. Baltimore coach Jesse Minter stated that Jackson's status remains day-to-day, and he is expected to undergo further evaluations this week ahead of their next game against the Atlanta Falcons. Minter indicated that they haven't gathered enough information about the injury yet and that they will have to wait and see the progress before making any decisions.
Initially, there were discussions about Jackson returning for the game, but the team decided to keep him on the bench, which likely prevented further harm. After the game, The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec reported that Jackson left the game wearing a boot, possibly as a precautionary measure. The Ravens have not officially diagnosed the nature of Jackson's injury, but his performance during the game was impressive.
Despite leaving before halftime, he completed 15 of 20 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns, and rushed for an additional 20 yards on two carries.
