Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson won't be attempting too many rushes during the 2019 season, team owner Steve Bisciotti said according to ESPN's Jaison Hensley.
Bisciotti, speaking on an hour-long conference call with season-ticket owners, reassured those worried about Jackson's increased risk of injury that the young franchise quarterback would be running less this season compared to 2018. Jackson set the NFL record for quarterbacks by running 147 times last season and surpassed Bobby Douglass's record of 141 in 1972.
Jackson replaced Joe Flacco in Week 10, winning six of seven starts while averaging 17 carries per game to lead the Ravens to their first AFC North title since 2012.
