Baltimore Beatdown on Lamar Jackson
From the article
Another week of Lamar Jackson Ankle Watch in Baltimore. The Ravens badly need their star quarterback back on the field for their upcoming visit to Buffalo, but his high ankle sprain could sideline him for another week. Head coach Jesse Minter was noncommittal about Jackson's status during his Monday presser, effectively indicating that the ninth-year passer remains day-to-day... Unfortunately, there is reason to believe that Jackson will miss another week.
STACKED’s take
Jackson day-to-day with high ankle sprain; likely to miss Week 8 despite limited practice return.
Lamar Jackson remains day-to-day with a high ankle sprain heading into Week 8 against Buffalo. Head coach Jesse Minter was noncommittal about his status during Monday's presser. Jackson returned to practice in limited capacity last Wednesday but will likely need to reach full participation for at least one day this week to play. High ankle sprains typically require at least four weeks to heal; Jackson indicated he can play at less than 100% but has not yet met his minimum standard to take the field. He acknowledged that his attempts to play through injuries last year were "dumb, a little bit," suggesting a more cautious approach to his return. The Ravens host Jacksonville just four days after their Buffalo trip, which could incentivize the team to rule Jackson out for another week to ensure a strong return in Week 9. Betting markets favor his Week 8 availability, but there is reason to believe he will miss another game.
