Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is still under the weather and missed another training camp session on Friday.
“He’s fighting through an illness, working with our doctors, doing all the tests — even more tests to make sure that we’ve got everything covered, and I’m confident that he’ll be back pretty soon,” head coach John Harbaugh told reporters after practice.
“It’s just unpredictable. I mean, you guys have been sick before, and sometimes it’s not easy. So, that’s what we’re dealing with.”
Jackson, the NFL’s reigning MVP, has missed four of the first five practices at training camp. He briefly participated on Wednesday but departed after only an hour.
Backup quarterback Josh Johnson, 38, ran the first-team offense in Jackson’s absence. Rookie Devin Leary, a sixth-round pick in April, and undrafted free agent Emory Jones are also on the 90-man training camp roster.
Jackson, 27, passed for 3,678 yards and 24 touchdowns and rushed for 821 yards and five touchdowns in 16 starts last season (13-3 record) to win his second MVP trophy (2019).
Baltimore opens preseason play Aug. 9 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Jackson hasn’t played in a preseason game since 2021, when he completed 3 of 4 pass attempts.
