Lamar Jackson has right ankle sprain, Ravens plan for him to play vs. Packers

Baltimore Ravens fans held their breath Sunday when quarterback Lamar Jackson was carted off with an ankle injury. No one knew how bad it was, if he'd have to miss any games, or even if he'd have to miss all of the remaining games.

Now they can exhale because the news is "good" — or a lot better than it could have been.

Head coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Jackson has a right ankle sprain. Why is that good news? Because it's not a high ankle sprain, which needs much more time to heal.
