Lamar Jackson Calls Out NFL Insider Over Injury Report

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson publicly challenged NFL insider Ian Rapoport’s description of his ankle problem. When asked whether his injury was a high-ankle sprain, Jackson referenced Rapoport’s earlier report and asked, “Who said that?” He then clarified that the team’s athletic trainer, Adrian Dixon, had identified the issue as a high-ankle sprain, not the “deltoid medial sprain” suggested by the reporter.

Jackson has missed the past two games with the Ravens and has been limited to light practice. He remains listed as questionable for the upcoming matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. The quarterback has indicated he is not at full strength but hopes to play despite lingering ankle discomfort.

Jackson emphasized his reliance on the Ravens’ medical staff over external speculation. He added that he does not need to be at 100 percent to contribute, saying he will play if he can tolerate the pain, but will sit if his limitation hinders performance.
