Ravens provide Lamar Jackson injury update ahead of Week 4

The Baltimore Ravens take on the winless Tennessee Titans in Maryland in Week 4, and the status of quarterback Lamar Jackson has once again been something to monitor.

Jackson raised eyebrows when he wasn't spotted at the start of practice on Wednesday. Head coach Jesse Minter then said that Jackson was dealing with "something small" and that he had a "limited role." 

"Lamar was at practice in a little limited role. Just dealing with something small," Minter said on Wednesday. 

Ravens get final Lamar Jackson injury update

The Ravens listed Jackson as "limited" on Wednesday and "full" on Thursday with a back issue, but he was off the injury report on Friday. 

Minter's comments on Wednesday didn't appear to show much concern for Jackson's status. Then, the quarterback being a full participant on Thursday meant he was trending in the right direction, so the status on Friday isn't much of a surprise. 

Jackson has thrown for 745 yards with four touchdowns this season, and he has another rushing score on the ground. 

Baltimore is coming off a 34-31 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Brazil, and the only loss came in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints, although it was the Ravens' home opener.
