Baltimore Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson did not practice on Sunday and was sent home after feeling under the weather.
Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, reigning NFL MVP Lamar Jackson was sent home from practice due to an unspecified illness. On their official team website, the Ravens announced that backup Josh Johnson is taking the first-team reps.
The Ravens began training camp on Sunday. Their first preseason game is a home game against the Philadelphia Eagles and will run Aug. 9. They’ll also play the Atlanta Falcons (Aug. 17) and Green Bay Packers (Aug. 24) before getting ready for the regular season.
Jackson won his second career MVP Award in 2023 after completing 67.2 percent of pass attempts for 3,678 yards and 24 touchdowns against only seven interceptions. Jackson added 821 rushing yards and five scores, finishing with over 700 yards on the ground for the fifth straight year.

Lamar Jackson led the Ravens to the AFC Championship Game for the first time in his career, but they fell 17-10 to Patrick Mahomes and the eventual Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.
Jackson and the Ravens don’t have to wait too much longer for revenge, as they’ll be visiting Mahomes and company in the NFL Kickoff Game at Arrowhead Stadium on Sept. 5.
Lamar Jackson Aims To Get Ravens Over The Hump
The 27-year-old Jackson has been one of the league’s best regular season QBs of the 21st century, as evidenced by his 58-19-0 record with 125 touchdowns against only 45 interceptions.
But Jackson has struggled in the postseason, with a 2-4 record and six touchdowns against as many interceptions. Reaching the AFC title game was a big step, only for Jackson and the Baltimore offense to underwhelm again.
There should never be shame in losing to Mahomes and the dynastic Chiefs. But if the Ravens can’t at least reach the Super Bowl, the notion about Lamar being “unable to win the big one” will continue to grow.
Sports World Had All Sorts Of Things To Say About President Joe Biden Shocking The World And Dropping Out Of The 2024 US Presidential Race

The sporting world was full of interesting reactions after Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he’s withdrawing from the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
Just after 1:45 p.m. EST on Sunday, President Joe Biden announced that he will not seek reelection. The 81-year-old Biden also endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee.
Biden was set to run against Republican nominee and former president Donald Trump for the second straight election. Trump easily won the GOP nomination and formally accepted it in Milwaukee, Wisconsin earlier this week.
Here’s how the sporting world reacted to the stunning news of Joe Biden’s decision:

Concerns about Biden’s health, state and ability to continue his presidential run started ramping up after his debate against Donald Trump on CNN in Atlanta, Georgia. When he won the race in 2020, Biden became the oldest person to assume office (78).
Biden’s decision marks the first time in 56 years that the U.S. president decided not to seek reelection. In 1968, Lyndon Johnson announced he would not seek a second term, and Republican Richard Nixon narrowly defeated Democratic nominee Hubert Humphrey.
Joe Biden has been in politics for over 50 years. He was a Senator from Delaware from 1973 to 2009 before serving as the Vice President of Barack Obama (2009 to 2017). Biden also ran for President of the United States in 1988 and 2008, with Michael Dukakis and Obama winning those races, respectively.
Joe Biden’s Withdrawl Means A New President For Second Straight Election
Biden’s victory over Donald Trump in 2020 marked the first time a U.S. president lost in their reelection bid since 1992, when Democrat Bill Clinton defeated incumbent and Republican George H.W. Bush.
But with Biden deciding to step down, the 2024 election means there will be a different winner for the second straight presidential race. If Trump defeats the Democratic nominee, he’ll join Grover Cleveland as the only other president to serve two non-consecutive terms.
