Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has revealed that he is dealing with a high ankle sprain and is unsure whether he will be able to play in the team's upcoming game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Jackson made the disclosure while speaking to reporters, providing the first detailed update on his condition since he was sidelined.
The star quarterback has missed the Ravens' past two games due to the injury. Despite the uncertainty, Jackson offered a measure of optimism about his recovery, stating that he is "heading in the right direction," according to ESPN's Jamison Hensley.
Jackson's potential absence would be a significant blow for Baltimore as it prepares to face a division rival in the Bengals. The quarterback's health status will be a key storyline to monitor as the week progresses and the team finalizes its game plan.
The Ravens have not yet made a determination on Jackson's availability for the matchup. Further updates are expected following the team's practice sessions and official injury report later in the week.
