NFL fans showed support for Lamar Jackson as he posts an update on his injury

Earlier, Jackson took to his official Twitter handle and wrote, Thank you everyone for your support and concerns regarding my injuries. I want to give you all an update as I am in the recovery process. I’ve suffered a PCL grade 2 sprain on the borderline of a strain 3. There is still inflammation surrounding my knee and my knee remains unstable.

“I’m still in good spirits, as I continue with treatments on the road to recovery. I wish I could be out there with my guys more than anything but I can’t give a 100% of myself to my guys and fans I’m still hopeful we still have a chance,” he further wrote.

Another fan of the Ravens showed support for their QB and wants him to get healthy quickly.

Meanwhile, one Twitter user thinks Jackson’s season could be over as he might need a surgery to recover fully.

On the other hand, one person thinks it was a good PR move from Jackson.

Another user wants him to negotiate his contract first before returning to the field.

Whereas one Giants fan offered him to come to their team.

It is worth noting that Jackson did not play since the week 13 game against the Broncos after suffering the PCL injury. Without him, the Ravens won only 2 out of five games; they lost their last two games as well.

This Sunday, the Baltimore team will play against the Bengals in the Wild Card round. As things stand, Jackson is unlikely to return to the Ravens team even if they make it to the Super Bowl.
