Baltimore Ravens' star quarterback Lamar Jackson was forced to exit his first training camp practice after just one hour due to an illness, according to reports. The league's reigning MVP had missed the previous two days of workouts and made his first appearance on Wednesday. However, Jackson appeared fatigued as he left the field, as stated by ESPN.

During the hour he was on the practice field, Jackson shared snaps with backup quarterback Josh Johnson. Despite not feeling well, Jackson managed to complete one pass but threw an interception on an overthrown ball to veteran cornerback Marlon Humphrey.

Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken addressed the situation, expressing confidence in the team's ability to maintain the offensive momentum even with Jackson's absence. Monken emphasized that the team had spent the entire offseason preparing, in which Jackson was involved. He added, "We are going to work him back in, for sure. You'll have to ask him how he feels. But he was great in meetings. When we were on the field at the start, he said he was feeling good."

The Ravens' preseason is scheduled to commence on August 9 with a matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. However, it is unlikely that Jackson will take the field until the final preseason tune-up game. The team's season opener is set for September 5 against the defending-champion Kansas City Chiefs, and the Ravens, despite entering as slight underdogs, aim to assert their dominance in a rematch of last season's AFC Championship Game.

Baltimore secured the top seed in the AFC playoffs last season with Jackson's exceptional play, and the team is optimistic about its chances heading into the new campaign. Jackson's health will undoubtedly be a focal point as the Ravens aim to build on their success from the previous year.
