Lamar Jackson didn’t even see the field for the second half of the Ravens’ Sunday win against the Titans, and now everyone’s wondering what the heck is going on with his ankle. You saw him go off at halftime with that 24-7 lead, right? Everyone thought it was just a precautionary thing, maybe give Tyler Huntley some reps against an opponent that was clearly overmatched. But then he never came back. Yikes.
Minter’s Update Has Everyone Worried
Ravens head coach Jesse Minter tried to play it cool after the game, saying he didn’t fear a long-term injury. But when you hear him talk, it’s not exactly reassuring. He even said there were “discussions” about Jackson returning to the game. But they didn’t do it. Minter’s exact words were, “Little bit of an ankle. Don’t know enough about it right now, we’ll have to see where that’s at. . . . Hopefully it’s in a good spot.” “Hopefully it’s in a good spot” isn’t exactly a vote of confidence, is it? We’ve seen this song and dance before, and it always leaves you on edge.
From Back Worries to Ankle Woes
This isn’t even the first time this week we heard about Jackson being dinged up. He was limited in practice last Wednesday, not with an ankle, but with a back injury. He looked totally fine in the first half on Sunday, absolutely cooking the Titans, going 15-of-20 for 220 yards and two touchdowns. Then boom, ankle issue out of nowhere. It just makes you wonder what’s really going on behind the scenes with his health. This guy’s electric, and any time he’s not on the field, it’s a huge blow.
The Ravens are set to play in Atlanta next Sunday night. All eyes are gonna be on those injury reports in the coming days. Everyone’s waiting to hear if there’s even a chance Jackson misses that game. You gotta hope this ankle thing clears up fast, because you don’t want your star QB playing hurt, especially not this early in the season.
