Lamar Jackson is not well; it’s just weeks before the start of a new season.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson made his grand return to training camp after missing three days with illness, but unfortunately, it did not last very long.
Per ESPN, the two-time MVP only practiced for about an hour before heading inside with athletic trainers.
Those in attendance reported that while he was out there, he did not look like himself.
Lamar Jackson split snaps with backup Josh Johnson, throwing one completion in team drills and one interception.
During a terrible overthrow, Marlon Humphrey was able to intercept him.

Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken told reporters that he doesn’t think Jackson’s absence will cause the offense to fall behind.
“We are going to work him back in, for sure,” Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken said with a smile. “I know I’m being kind of a smartass. You’ll have to ask him how he feels. But he was great in meetings. When we were on the field at the start [of practice], he said he was feeling good.”
The Ravens will begin its preseason schedule on August 9th when they host the Philadelphia Eagles, however, Lamar Jackson is unlikely to step foot on the field until the final preseason tune-up game.
He is expected to play at some point during the preseason.
