Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson Declares Ankle 'Good to Go' After Week 11 Injury

Baltimore Ravens signal-caller Lamar Jackson injured his ankle on a Logan Wilson hip-drop tackle against the Cincinnati Bengals and updated his status.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was injured on one of Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson's now notorious hip-drop tackles put on display during Ravens vs. Bengals on Thursday night. Jackson was hobbled for a time during the game and appeared on the early-week injury report.

On Tuesday, Jackson indicated his ankle was "good to go" and jogged in place in front of reporters as proof. Jackson was apparently healthy enough to be completely left off the Wednesday injury report.

On Thursday night, Jackson winced in pain and grabbed his left ankle while remaining on the field after Wilson's hip-drop tackle while Jackson was running out of bounds. It was on a third down play and Jackson was able to return for the ensuing Ravens series.

While he never missed a play, he was seen on the sideline with the ankle wrapped in a pad and was noticeably limping at times on the field.

The Ravens take the field next in Los Angeles at SoFi Stadium against the Chargers on Sunday night at 8:20 p.m. Jackson can reach a personal milestone in that game as he needs just 28 rushing yards to hit 5,000 for his career. Just three other quarterbacks - Russell Wilson, Cam Newton, and Michael Vick - have reached that mark.

“I’m in line with the greats, so that’s pretty cool. No doubt. I’m cool with that,” Jackson said Tuesday, via Sarah Ellison of bluewirepods.

Wideout Odell Beckham (shoulder) and cornerback Arthur Maulet (illness) also missed practice, but coach John Harbaugh said OBJ's injury should not be a long-term issue.

Receivers Rashod Bateman (foot), Devin Duvernay (knee), and Zay Flowers (hip), cornerback Marlon Humphrey (calf), linebacker Trenton Simpson (concussion) and left tackle Ronnie Stanley (knee) were limited in practice too.
