OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- In Lamar Jackson's seven seasons, illness has slowed down the two-time NFL Most Valuable Player more often than most NFL defenses have.

Jackson has missed at least one practice because he was sick in each season since being drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in 2018. He has been sidelined a total of 12 practices with non-COVID-related illnesses, including four in the first week of this year's training camp.

After Monday's practice, which was his second full session of camp, Jackson was asked why he gets sick so frequently.
