The prominent prospect for NFL Most Valuable Player has actually missed out on a 2nd straight day of practice.
Lamar Jackson (back/knee) did not take part in Thursday's session, offending planner Todd Monken validated.
“I imply, it is what it is,” Monken informed press reporters. “Josh (Johnson) can utilize the work. That's what you do. You get gotten ready for it, like any other position.”
Ravens coach John Harbaugh minimized the matter Wednesday, associating Jackson's lack to a day of rest.
“He's been playing terrific, and we have a great deal of football in front of us,” Harbaugh stated. “We have a video game, a fast video game and another huge video game showing up, so that was necessitated today.”
After their 29-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns, the Ravens started the normal weeklong schedule in between video games. After their Sunday conference with Denver, the Ravens host the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday, indicating they'll play 2 video games in 5 days.
If Jackson is injuring at all, the Ravens most likely understand it's finest to offer him the rest he requires to recover. There's no usage in trotting him out on the practice field to associate plays when he's most important on video game day.
If Jackson was not able to play in either video game, the veteran journeyman Johnson is readily available as his backup.
