Jackson missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday.
Head coach John Harbaugh said he gave Jackson a “rest” day on Wednesday. Offensive coordinator Todd Monken confirmed Jackson’s absence from Thursday’s practice.
“I mean, it is what it is,” Monken told reporters via Jamison Hensley. “Josh (Johnson) can use the work. That’s what you do. You get prepared for it, like any other position.”
Jackson is expected to play for the Ravens (5-3) on Sunday against the Denver Broncos (5-3).
