OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens remain tight-lipped about whether injured quarterback Lamar Jackson has a chance to play in Sunday's pivotal game against the Houston Texans. On Wednesday, Jackson did not practice because of a hamstring injury that he suffered in Sunday's 37-20 loss in Kansas City. When asked if there was a determination on Jackson's availability for Sunday, coach John Harbaugh said the team is taking all of the numerous injuries day-by-day.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback and two-time MVP Lamar Jackson is fine, a team spokesperson said, after leaving practice early today with a foot injury. Jackson was knocked to the ground about an hour and a half into practice, according to ESPN's Ravens contributor Jamison Hensley. Though he remained on the field to throw a few more passes, he exited practice with a doctor and a trainer 40 minutes before the rest of the team.
During a conversation with cornerback Marlon Humphrey and a strength coach this offseason, wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins revealed that he sees a missing piece in the Ravens, and he believes he could be that addition, depending on Lamar Jackson's trust in him. His success largely hinges on how much faith Jackson places in him during tight window throws, where Hopkins excels.
