Lamar Jackson Misses Practice With Knee Injury
4 years agoBaltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) didn't practice on Wednesday due to a knee injury that isn't considered serious, according to a source. Jackson was held out for "precautionary reasons," with backup Robert Griffin III seeing the first-team repetitions. Jackson's fantasy managers have been waiting for a big performance from the reigning NFL MVP this year, but it just hasn't happened yet. Baltimore will need to get their deep passing game going for that to happen, as they currently rank 31st in the NFL in passing. The Bengals Defense is definitely exploitable, so don't be surprised if Jackson and the Ravens explode in Week 5. But the 23-year-old's knee is something worth watching, as he's an elite QB1 in part because of his ability to scramble and pick up big chunk gains with his legs.
