Ravens QB Lamar Jackson Cleared After Foot Injury

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson suffered a minor foot injury during a Wednesday practice when his foot was stepped on, but X-rays showed no damage. Head coach John Harbaugh expressed relief and confirmed Jackson is sore but expected to be fine, leading the team to keep him out of Thursday's practice as a precaution. Jackson, a two-time NFL MVP known for his outstanding 2024 season statistics, has not played in the preseason and is expected to be ready for the Ravens' season opener against the Buffalo Bills on September 7. Harbaugh emphasized the importance of prayers and maintained a positive outlook on Jackson's recovery. Despite the injury scare, the Ravens dodged a significant setback, and Jackson remains focused on preparing for the upcoming season without dwelling on postseason pressures. Backup quarterback Cooper Rush is expected to start in the preseason finale, with Jackson poised to return fully healthy for the regular season.
