Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson said he is feeling good after overcoming an illness that caused him to miss four of the team's first five practice sessions.

Jackson now has gone through two consecutive practice sessions without a problem.

"I feel wonderful," Jackson said. "Good to be back. Back out with my guys, back with the coaching staff."

Jackson said he was quickly able to get into form.

"Just because I was down -- I was still locked in," Jackson said. "I know what time it is right now, it's camp time. So, with me going down for a couple of days, my mind was still in it like I got to hurry up and get better so I can be out there with my guys."

The 27-year-old Jackson won his second NFL MVP award last season when he passed for a career-high 3,678 yards to go with 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He also rushed for 821 yards and five scores.
