Lamar Jackson did not practice on Wednesday with the Ravens after the team reported an ankle injury. The issue comes at a crucial moment as Baltimore tries to maintain offensive stability. The absence of the star quarterback always triggers concern. Something similar happened last week, but this time the context is different.
John Harbaugh explained the situation. He said it was the same type of issue to avoid speculation. But the injury changes the preparation, and the team hopes Jackson returns to practice. Thursday’s session will be decisive because it could indicate whether he will play on Sunday.
According to the New York Post, medical evaluations will continue throughout the week. The coaching staff wants to avoid unnecessary risks because Jackson drives the entire offense. His mobility shapes much of the game plan and affects the production of the running attack.

Other key players also missed practice. Kyle Hamilton sat out due to shoulder and groin problems. Roquan Smith remains sidelined with hamstring issues. Ronnie Stanley was absent due to illness. As a result, the defense loses essential pieces, and the coaching staff needs quick solutions.
The Jets monitor every detail of Jackson’s condition
Head coach Aaron Glenn spoke about the opponent. He praised Baltimore’s structure and considers the franchise a model to follow. He also highlighted the most dangerous players, such as Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, who, in his view, require special attention. He explained that they open space for Zay Flowers, showing clear respect for Baltimore’s offense.
The Jets face their own dilemma at quarterback. Tyrod Taylor will start this week, while some fans want to see rookie Brady Cook. Glenn commented on the young quarterback, saying he is still developing. He added that the team has a clear plan for him, but clarified that he was not promising anything.
The team hopes to recover players before Sunday. Jackson’s status remains the biggest question. If he practices on Thursday, his chances of playing increase. If he doesn’t, concern will grow.
