The Baltimore Ravens and their fans don’t have anything to worry about, at least not when it comes to Lamar Jackson’s health.
The star QB rolled his ankle late in the blowout win over the Seattle Seahawks, with Tyler Huntley replacing him for the remainder of the game.
However, according to Morgan Adsit of FOX Baltimore, HC John Harbaugh just confirmed that Jackson is ‘completely fine.’
“Completely fine,” John Harbaugh on Lamar Jackson’s ankle one day after beating Seattle. Jackson appeared to get rolled up on a little and limp. With game out of hand, Tyler Huntley got the 4th.

Jackson is coming off one of the best performances of his career, completing 81% of his passes to become the league’s leader in completion percentage (71.5) for the season.
He’s also the league leader in QB rushing yards (440), positioning himself as one of the strongest MVP candidates.
Should he keep this up, he’d become the first quarterback since 1994 to achieve this over a full season.
Needless to say, there’s still a long path ahead of Jackson and the Ravens to make it to the big game, but the early returns of Todd Monken’s offense have been quite encouraging.
Jackson is also the first QB since Steve Young in 1992 to sit atop the league in rushing yards and completion percentage leaderboard through Week 9.
Of course, the big question and concern with Jackson will always be whether that level of production will be sustainable, not because he’s not capable of doing it but because of his well-documented history of injuries.
