The Baltimore Ravens had a minor injury scare with Lamar Jackson during their home win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
Jackson appeared to have suffered an ankle injury during the first quarter of the divisional contest. He was slow to get up after being on the end of a hip-drop tackle from Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson.
Jackson did not end up missing a single snap on offense due to his ankle ailment, as he went on to lead Baltimore to a 14-point win against the Bengals.
Jackson said after the game that he does not want the injury to be a storyline heading into Week 12, noting that "we need to stop talking about this ankle."
During a press conference on Tuesday, Jackson showed that his injury scare is not a concern to him at all. He jogged and hopped in place when asked for an update on his left ankle. He also made clear that he is good to go for Baltimore’s upcoming road matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.
"I believe I’m good," Jackson said. "I believe I'm 100 percent."
It will be noteworthy to see whether Jackson will go on to be a full participant in practice all this week.
The Ravens currently hold the No. 1 seed in the AFC with an 8-3 record.
