Lamar Jackson has not played since Week 14 due to a right ankle injury. While the Baltimore Ravens quarterback was able to practice Wednesday, he did not look particularly healthy.
In a video shared by ESPN’s Jamison Hensley, Jackson was seen getting in some light work. He was visibly limping between reps, however, suggesting his ankle remains a significant impediment.

It is tough to imagine Jackson being able to play effectively while moving like that, though he has time to heal before Sunday’s Week 17 game. This also outlines how bad things have been if Jackson has missed two key games.
Jackson’s ankle issue is clearly more serious than the Ravens initially thought. The team is hopeful that Jackson can play some role in this week’s must-win game against the Los Angeles Rams, but it looks like it may be difficult to get much out of the quarterback.
