Jackson is now hearing the report directly himself, declaring that he is “100%” starting in the Ravens’ next home game. He offered his condolences and then reapplied on Friday.
The aforementioned Life 9 foundation, 27, never seemed insecure and explained the two days of absence that have had the media and fans talking.
“Just resting my body,” Jackson said with a smile (per ESPN). “It’s a long season, that’s all.”
Neither the team nor Jackson have said he is suffering from a serious concussion and he did not receive any medical attention for the loss of his life against the Cleveland Browns.
With Jackson no longer involved in the application, veteran backup Josh Johnson has accepted first-team reps.
Jackson hasn’t missed a game due to an upset in two seasons, and the team has a better record with him than without him. The Ravens are 63-22 (.741) with Jackson and 4-9 (.307) without him since he became the starter in 2018.
