BALTIMORE -- The NFL will investigate the Baltimore Ravens' handling of quarterback Lamar Jackson's practice participation, which led to the two-time NFL Most Valuable Player being ruled out with a hamstring injury for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback and two-time MVP Lamar Jackson is fine, a team spokesperson said, after leaving practice early today with a foot injury. Jackson was knocked to the ground about an hour and a half into practice, according to ESPN's Ravens contributor Jamison Hensley. Though he remained on the field to throw a few more passes, he exited practice with a doctor and a trainer 40 minutes before the rest of the team.
During a conversation with cornerback Marlon Humphrey and a strength coach this offseason, wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins revealed that he sees a missing piece in the Ravens, and he believes he could be that addition, depending on Lamar Jackson's trust in him. His success largely hinges on how much faith Jackson places in him during tight window throws, where Hopkins excels.
