After Lamar Jackson was absent on Thursday, his status for Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos was a bit of an unknown. According to Underdog Fantasy’s James Palmer, the Broncos, though they were preparing for Jackson the whole way through, there was a “buzz in the locker room” about him missing his second practice. But that hope will cease as Jackson and Head Coach John Harbaugh confirmed he’ll be on the field come Sunday.
“Yeah,” Jackson. “100-percent. No, [missing Sunday’s game] was never in doubt. Just resting my body. It’s a long season.”
Backing up Jackson’s statement was Harbaugh’s; and he’s not concerned with Jackson’s absence impacting their offense or the game plan.
