Quarterback Lamar Jackson left Ravens practice early Wednesday after he was knocked down on a drop-back, but a team spokesperson said Jackson had his foot stepped on and is “fine.”

Coach John Harbaugh was not scheduled to speak to reporters until after Thursday’s practice. Offensive coordinator Todd Monken said he didn’t see what happened on the play.

Jackson, a two-time NFL Most Valuable Player and the leader of one of the NFL’s best offenses, appeared to be flexing his right (throwing) wrist after the fall, which occurred during 11-on-11 drills about 80 minutes into practice. Defensive players are not allowed to contact quarterbacks during practice.

Jackson did not immediately leave practice after hitting the ground. He completed a deep pass to rookie wide receiver LaJohntay Wester before missing badly on a check-down to running back Keaton Mitchell. He then walked into the team facility with strength and conditioning coordinator Scott Elliott, stopping to speak with Ravens executive vice president Ozzie Newsome. He was followed by members of the team’s athletic training staff, including chief medical officer Dr. Andrew Tucker.

“I was thinking, like, ‘Oh, you know, he’s just probably resting his arm, something like that,” said wide receiver Tylan Wallace, who didn’t see what led to Jackson’s fall. “But obviously we’re keeping him in our prayers and everything. I hope he’s doing great and all of that stuff. But I’m sure, Lamar being Lamar, he’ll be back before we know it.”

Jackson has been healthy for the entirety of training camp, missing only one practice Aug. 4 for preplanned personal reasons. He sat out the Ravens’ preseason wins against the Indianapolis Colts and Dallas Cowboys and was not expected to play in Saturday’s finale against the Washington Commanders.

The Ravens open their season on the road against the Buffalo Bills on Sept. 7. Jackson has not missed a regular-season game because of injury since 2022.

Here are the highlights from Wednesday’s padded practice:

• Quarterback Cooper Rush, Jackson’s backup, threw two interceptions to cornerback T.J. Tampa, both on pressured drop-backs. Tampa made a diving grab for the first pick, which came after Rush’s pass was deflected near the line of scrimmage. The second turnover came as Rush looked to make a throw near the left sideline, only for the ball to sail to Tampa.
• Jackson had a strong start to practice, hitting wide receiver Devontez Walker for two solid gains in 11-on-11 action before a back-shoulder pass to Wallace drew a pass interference penalty on cornerback Nate Wiggins. But he missed his next three throws, all to the sideline.
• Outside linebackers Odafe Oweh and Tavius Robinson recorded easy pressures on fourth-down pass rushes against the Ravens’ third-string offense. Rookie outside linebacker Mike Green was also disruptive.
• Undrafted rookie cornerback Keyon Martin, who’s fighting for a roster spot, had an impressive pass breakup against Rush, leaping for a deflection over the middle and nearly crashing into Wester.
• Wide receiver Anthony Miller had a leaping catch along the left sideline on a deep shot from Rush despite tight coverage from cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis.
• Rookie kicker Tyler Loop didn’t attempt any field goals during team drills.
• Wide receiver Dayton Wade and outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy returned to practice, though both were limited. Wide receiver Rashod Bateman missed practice. Also missing were fullback Patrick Ricard (undisclosed), tight end Isaiah Likely (foot), rookie offensive lineman Emery Jones Jr. (shoulder), outside linebacker Adisa Isaac (elbow), inside linebacker William Kwenkeu (undisclosed), and cornerbacks Jaire Alexander (knee) and Chidobe Awuzie (undisclosed).
