Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson appears to have avoided a worst-case scenario with the ankle injury he suffered on Sunday.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Jackson does not have a high-ankle sprain. There is at least a chance that Jackson will be able to play against the Green Bay Packers in Week 15 despite the injury.

There was reason to fear something more serious when Jackson was carted off the field on Sunday. Ankle injuries can be notoriously troublesome, especially for a mobile quarterback of Jackson’s caliber. The fact that Jackson has a chance to play Sunday certainly hints at a more short-term issue.

The 24-year-old quarterback has 18 total touchdowns on the season so far, albeit with 13 interceptions.
