Two-time NFL MVP, Lamar Jackson, will have to wait at least another week before returning to the lineup as the Baltimore Ravens’ quarterback and was ruled out for the team’s Sunday contest versus the Chicago Bears.

That sentence, alone, would normally generate plenty of headlines because of the sheer star power of Jackson. However, the fact that Jackson practiced three times this week, with the Ravens and then retroactively changed his practice status on Saturday, could be the bigger takeaway from this situation.
