Another user is wondering if Jackson’s injury is a contusion.
It's probably just a contusion. The Turf is no joke especially with added body weight.

This user urged the Ravens to pay the man.
If any QB in the NFL deserves guaranteed money at this point, it's Lamar. Team player, hard worker, leader that's earned the respect of teammates and coaches. Pay the man

Another user claimed injuries as the reason he should not compete without a contract.
Very reason why he shouldn’t have been playing without a contract. He should have signed that contract his mother wouldn’t let him sign. I said way back when his mother was his agent and he was going to bet on himself that he would go down as a cautionary tale.
