For three straight weeks, Lamar Jackson has been dealing with a different injury – and that's not even counting the hamstring that sidelined him for three games.
Jackson has missed a practice each week with knee, ankle, and now toe injuries.
Jackson said the latest injury happened when a New York Jets defender dropped his weight on him during a tackle in the first quarter. Like the other injuries, Jackson continued marching on and won.
"I just got fell on. I'm good, though. Toe's good," Jackson said.
Asked Tuesday if the injuries are compounding, Jackson smiled and said, "I'm feeling better in some areas."
Jackson has thrown for less than 200 yards in each of the past three games. He's tossed one touchdown to two interceptions. But he said he's not letting the nagging injuries frustrate him.
"I don't think about that. We're winning, so that's what it's all about," Jackson said. "I can't control an injury. Things like that happen. Unfortunately, it's just happening at the wrong time, I believe. But we're winning."
Head Coach John Harbaugh pointed out that Jackson has posted a 143.4 quarterback rating in the fourth quarter this season, when games are often won and lost. Jackson has thrown 10 touchdowns to just one interception in the second half of his eight games played.
After Sunday's 23-10 win over the Jets, left tackle Ronnie Stanley said the Ravens offense needs to improve if they're going to reach their Super Bowl goals. Jackson concurred with that belief, and part of the equation will be getting the two-time MVP healthy.
"I agree, absolutely. \[We have\] to put points on the board," Jackson said. "We can't keep putting \[Tyler\] Loop out there on each and every drive, because there's going to be some times when we're going against a high-motor offense, and they might score a lot of points, and we're going to have to match those guys. So, we just have to do our job."
