Lamar Jackson was held out of Baltimore Ravens practice Thursday as a precaution to rest his foot after a teammate inadvertently stepped on the MVP quarterback midway through Wednesday's workout.

A team spokesman said Jackson was fine, noting a teammate stepped on his foot before he walked off the field with team trainers.

ESPN reported Jackson also was flexing his right wrist.

Prior to being tangled up and cleated, Jackson went to the ground after contact in team drills.

Cooper Rush is the No. 2 quarterback for the Ravens.

Jackson, a two-time NFL MVP, already has been ruled out for Baltimore's game Saturday against the Washington Commanders. But that's the norm for the Ravens, who haven't put Jackson on the field in a preseason game since 2021 when he attempted four passes at Washington in what also was Baltimore's preseason finale that year.
