  "account": "Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has missed the last two games due to an ankle injury sustained in Week 4. This absence has prompted criticism from some fans and analysts against the QB. During a recent interview, veteran cornerback Marlon Humphrey responded to this \"slander\" directed at Jackson. Humphrey remarked that it appears Lamar is the only quarterback facing such harsh criticism for any issue. He expressed that he finds the treatment unfair, mentioning that he often faces similar scrutiny. Humphrey believes there might be issues related to Jackson's agent, which hinders the quarterback's defense. Regardless, Humphrey is confident that if Jackson is healthy enough to play, he will. Jackson practiced on Wednesday and participated in Thursday's session, after being limited in practice on Wednesday. The Ravens, following a Week 6 loss to the Cleveland Browns, are aiming to rebound in their upcoming AFC North matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals this weekend, with the game scheduled for 1 p.m. ET.",
