Did John Harbaugh and the Baltimore Ravens panic a bit today? Definitely. According to Harbaugh, their star quarterback, Lamar Jackson, could've had a serious injury after getting his foot stepped on during Wednesday's practice.
On Thursday's edition of ESPN's "NFL Live," Adam Schefter broke down the latest on Jackson's foot injury, revealing it was "a little bit scarier than the Ravens let on." Though X-rays showed no broken bones or serious damage, Schefter said Harbaugh admitted his "prayers were answered."
Schefter added, "They don't have to have Lamar Jackson out there right now. They need him for the start of the regular season."
He said the Ravens will likely give Jackson's foot "a couple of weeks to heal."
The team is taking a cautious approach. Harbaugh reassured fans after Thursday's practice, saying, "He's fine. He's going to be good."
Schefter painted a picture of relief mixed with caution, as the Ravens focus on ensuring their star quarterback is fully recovered and ready for the season ahead.
