Lamar Jackson has missed the past two weeks with an ankle injury, and on Friday, we finally got some clarity on the specifics: a high ankle sprain. This diagnosis helps explain Jackson's extended absence but also suggests he could miss additional time. High ankle sprains typically carry a 3-4 week recovery timeline, and Jackson's historical Recovery Score ranks in the bottom 25th percentile.

High ankle sprain diagnosis suggests extended absence; Jackson's recovery history ranks bottom 25th percentile.

Lamar Jackson has missed the past two weeks and was diagnosed with a high ankle sprain on Friday. High ankle sprains typically carry a 3-4 week recovery timeline, and Jackson's historical Recovery Score ranks in the bottom 25th percentile, indicating a tendency toward longer recoveries. Given Jackson's reliance on his legs to extend plays and generate fantasy production, the source leans toward him sitting out another week and suspects we'll need to see Jackson log at least one full practice before feeling confident about his return.
