\"\u201cScarierAdam Schefter questions Ravens’ transparency about Lamar Jackson\u2019s injury. Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson<\/a> is dealing with a foot injury that has raised questions about his readiness for the 2025 NFL season. Jackson was injured during a practice session when his foot was stepped on, forcing him to leave early. While the team has insisted the injury isn\u2019t serious, top NFL reporter Adam Schefter expressed doubts about the official updates, suggesting the situation might be more \u201cscarier\u201d than the Ravens are saying.<\/p>\n

Lamar Jackson\u2019s injury worse than the Ravens are saying? Adam Schefter points to inconsistencies in timeline<\/p>\n

On \u2018NFL on ESPN\u2019 Thursday, Adam Schefter shared his thoughts on the injury, pointing out some inconsistencies in the Ravens\u2019 messaging. Although the team reported no broken bones after X-rays and coach John Harbaugh called it a \u201cbig relief,\u201d Schefter noted that Jackson has missed two straight days of practice. “It sounds like it’s a little bit scarier than the Ravens led on,” Schefter said. “Because they did take X-rays, they did say there were no signs of broken bones or any issues, and John Harbaugh admitted his prayers were answered. So, if there were anything that was nothing, he wouldn’t have to pray that Lamar Jackson’s X-rays would have turned out the way they did.”Schefter added that the team likely will give Jackson\u2019s foot some extra time to heal since they need him ready for the regular season. The fact that Jackson hasn\u2019t practiced yet this week raises questions about how soon he\u2019ll be back on the field.<\/p>\n

Coach John Harbaugh later gave an update, confirming the foot injury and saying the quick X-rays showed no damage. Harbaugh admitted Jackson is still sore but is expected to recover soon. “He got his foot stepped on like we said yesterday. 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. But he’s fine. He’s going to be good.” Harbaugh said, adding, “It was a big relief. I told the guys, I said, ‘prayers get answered.’ Because I was praying. God came through. But he’s good.”Jackson himself reacted to the injury talk by commenting with a laughing emoji on Schefter\u2019s viral video.<\/p>\n
