Lamar Jackson sounds hurt in the latest tweet

The Ravens have relied heavily on Jackson’s talents to lead the team to numerous victories over the years. Jackson’s dynamic playing style and ability to both pass and run the ball have made him a fan favorite in Baltimore.

This latest development has left Ravens fans in a state of shock, with many expressing their disappointment on social media. Jackson, on the other hand, has taken to Twitter to clarify his position.
