Overview

• Jackson left Wednesday’s practice after being knocked down on a drop-back; the team said his foot was stepped on and he stayed to throw a few more passes before exiting.
• Head coach John Harbaugh said a quick X-ray showed no damage and described Jackson as fine, explaining the absence as precautionary.
• Reporters at practice noted Jackson appeared to flex his right wrist, fueling confusion that contrasted with the team’s foot explanation.
• ESPN’s Adam Schefter questioned the initial downplaying, pointing to the need for imaging and Jackson being held out, even as results were negative.
• Jackson was not expected to play in Saturday’s preseason finale, and with the Sept. 7 opener at Buffalo approaching, Rush has handled increased work with the starters.
