Lamar Jackson was among a group of Baltimore Ravens players who missed practice on Monday. This sudden absence has fans buzzing with speculation and concern.
Coach John Harbaugh would not dive into the specifics behind the absences of his star quarterback, cornerback Nate Wiggins, and receiver/return specialist Deonte Harty. Harbaugh simply mentioned that some players faced physical issues while others were handling personal matters.
“The injury report will be out Wednesday afternoon,” Harbaugh stated, as the Ravens began their fervent preparations for Sunday’s highly anticipated home opener against the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Ravens took to the practice field on Monday, coming off a long weekend after a heart-wrenching 27-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in last Thursday’s NFL season opener.
Lamar Jackson put on a show in that game, completing 26 of 41 passes for 273 yards and a touchdown, while also dazzling with 122 rushing yards on 16 attempts. The Ravens narrowly lost after what seemed to be a game-winning touchdown was tragically nullified when tight end Isaiah Likely was ruled out of bounds on the final play.
Jackson, 27, who had missed four practice sessions at the start of training camp due to an illness, is coming off a stellar season as the reigning Most Valuable Player, having secured the prestigious award for the second consecutive year. The entire NFL world watches his every move with bated breath.
Linebackers Kyle Van Noy and Adisa Isaac also missed practice. Van Noy suffered a significant eye injury during the Chiefs game and is reportedly dealing with a fractured orbital bone. Meanwhile, Isaac is sidelined with a pulled hamstring.
Stay tuned as more information unfolds—this is a critical moment for the Ravens as they gear up for an important game against the Raiders.
