The main candidate for NFL Most Important Participant has disregarded a 2d straight day of practice.
Lamar Jackson (relieve/knee) did not rob half in Thursday’s session, offensive coordinator Todd Monken confirmed.
“I mean, it is what it is,” Monken told reporters. “Josh (Johnson) can employ the work. That’s what you attain. You bag willing for it, admire all assorted design.”
Ravens coach John Harbaugh downplayed the matter Wednesday, attributing Jackson’s absence to a relaxation day.
“He’s been playing sizable, and now we win reasonably loads of football in front of us,” Harbaugh acknowledged. “We now win a sport, a fast sport and one other corpulent sport coming up, so that was once warranted at the present time.”
After their 29-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns, the Ravens launched into the usual weeklong time table between games. On the other hand, after their Sunday assembly with Denver, the Ravens host the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday, that way they’ll play two games in 5 days.
If Jackson is hurting in any admire, the Ravens seemingly know it’s finest to offer him the relaxation he needs to bag better. There is no employ in trotting him out on the practice field to in discovering plays when he’s most treasured on sport day.
If Jackson was once unable to play in either sport, the old journeyman Johnson is on hand as his backup.
