When the Baltimore Ravens opened training camp, they did so without the reigning MVP of the National Football League. QB Lamar Jackson was sidelined with an illness for the first three days of camp. He returned and began practicing on Wednesday but failed to finish practice. The Ravens had the day off on Thursday, but he did not return to practice on Friday, per a release on the Ravens’ website.
“He practiced for about an hour Wednesday before leaving the field and walking inside with athletic trainers,” wrote Clifton Brown of BaltimoreRavens.com.
That is an odd start to camp for Jackson as the Ravens remain firmly in the hunt as contenders in the AFC.
