Lamar Jackson sidelined again with lingering illness

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Lamar Jackson was sidelined again Friday, and the Baltimore Ravens said he was still being evaluated by their medical team.

Jackson has practiced only once since training camp began for the full squad Sunday, and he left the Wednesday session early.

“He’s fighting through an illness,” coach John Harbaugh said. "Working with our doctors, doing all the tests, even more tests to make sure we have everything covered. I’m confident that he’ll be back pretty soon. It’s just an unpredictable deal. You guys have been sick before, and sometimes it’s not easy, so that’s what we’re dealing with.”

Veteran linebacker Kyle Van Noy was also held out Friday because of a neck issue.
