On Wednesday, the Ravens got a scare when QB Lamar Jackson exited practice early after appearing to suffer an injury. With training camp ending soon, teams are shifting their focus toward the season opener. Week 1 is approaching, which means roster cuts to the final 53 are on the horizon. Coaches are also tasked with keeping their starters healthy, particularly at the always-critical quarterback position. So what does this mean for the Ravens?
What Exactly Happened To Quarterback Lamar Jackson?
After Jackson left the practice early on Wednesday, it sparked an instant concern among fans. Losing the two-time MVP just weeks before the opener would have been a nightmare scenario for Baltimore.
Early buzz suggested Jackson was flexing his wrist, but Ravens insider Jamison Henley cleared up the confusion.

Spokesman said he’s fine.
“Ravens QB Lamar Jackson left practice because his foot got stepped on,” Henley reported.
Henley, citing a team spokesman, added that Jackson is in no danger and will be fine moving forward. That reassurance should calm the nerves in Baltimore, where even the hint of an injury to their franchise quarterback is enough to set off alarm bells.
Jackson’s Health Clears the Way for Season Opener
All signs point to Lamar Jackson being ready to go when the Ravens kick off their season in Week 1. Baltimore opens the year against the Buffalo Bills, a heavyweight matchup with extra stakes after Buffalo ended the Ravens’ playoff run last January in a nail-biting 27–25 finish.
Having Jackson under center is non-negotiable if the Ravens hope to flip the script this time around. Reports out of camp confirm that the recent injury scare was nothing serious.
Jackson has already cemented himself as one of the league’s most electric quarterbacks, collecting two MVP awards. What continues to elude him, however, is a Super Bowl appearance. The Ravens haven’t hoisted the Lombardi since 2013, and with Jackson in his prime, expectations are sky-high to change that.
For now, Ravens fans can exhale knowing their star quarterback dodged a setback.
