The Lamar Jackson injury watch continued Friday for Baltimore Ravens fans, NFL followers and fantasy football players alike.
Jackson has missed the last two games due to ankle injury, which he revealed on Friday was a high-ankle sprain. The two-time MVP returned to practice on Thursday, however, and was on the field again for Friday's session.
The Ravens host the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday and Jackson said that he's "headed in the right direction" for the contest.
The 29-year-old signal-caller added that the ailment has been a "very, very painful" injury, but he doesn't need to be at full strength to suit up.
