Had the Ravens lost Jackson to a hand or wrist injury, the team could have been in a world of trouble. The star passer has been one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in the league, securing two MVP awards for that fact. Jackson should have arguably won his third in 2024, but that honor was bestowed on Josh Allen, who is also deserving.

Ravens fans were holding their breath Wednesday when Lamar Jackson left practice early. The reasoning was unclear, though The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec noted the quarterback was knocked down making a throw and seen talking to Scott Elliott, Baltimore’s strength and conditioning coach.
