Lamar Jackson has found his way onto the injury report yet again in Week 11.
The superstar quarterback was not spotted at the media portion of Ravens practice on Wednesday, and the afternoon injury report revealed why. According to reports from ESPN insider Jamison Hensley, Jackson was “sent home” with an illness.
The illness is reportedly not COVID-19 related.
This is the second time this season that Jackson has missed a practice with a non-COVID-19 related illness. Back in Week 3, the former league MVP missed a practice but was still able to play on Sunday.
Jackson also missed two practices in Week 4 with back soreness, but was still able to play that week as well.
The NFL world took to Twitter to react to another practice absence for Jackson in 2021.

Speaking to the media this afternoon, John Harbaugh revealed that starting center Bradley Bozeman was also sent home with an illness. The head coach said “It’s that time of year,” eluding to flu season.
Given Jackson’s previous history with missed practices, there’s a significant possibility that he’s still able to take the field for this weekend’s matchup against the Chicago Bears. Coming off a disappointing loss to the Miami Dolphins, the star QB is likely itching to get his team back on track.
Stay tuned for updates on Jackson’s health as the week goes on.
