  "account": "NFL insider Ian Rapoport made an inaccurate injury report about Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, claiming it was a high ankle sprain rather than a low ankle sprain. This transpired during a Friday broadcast where a reporter asked Jackson about his reported injury status. Upon learning Rapoport's incorrect diagnosis, Jackson quipped, \"Who said that?\" and pointed out that Rapoport was not part of the team's training staff.\n\nJackson maintained that his own staff had informed him of the injury being a high ankle sprain, and he was following their lead despite acknowledging Rapoport's role as a reporter. The Ravens quarterback is currently listed as questionable for the team's upcoming game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, having missed the past two games. Despite his limited practice time, Jackson expressed a willingness to play through the pain in his ankle, emphasizing that he doesn't need to be at 100% to perform. However, he also noted that if he can't fully function, it would not be beneficial for him to take the field.",
