John Harbaugh provides clarity on Lamar Jackson’s injury scare
Jackson left Wednesday’s practice after having his foot stepped on during a full-team drill. While he appeared uncomfortable and later exited alongside members of the training staff, Harbaugh confirmed there was no significant damage.“He got his foot stepped on like we said yesterday,” Harbaugh explained. “They did a quick X-ray, and there’s no damage or anything like that. I’m sure it’s a little sore today, so we just kept him in. He’s going to be good.”The two-time MVP remained on the field for a few plays after the incident but looked slightly off, even throwing a few errant passes. Despite that, the results of the X-ray gave the team confidence that it was nothing more than a minor setback.Also Read: Stephen A.
