John Harbaugh says Lamar Jackson is close to returning from illness that has caused the MVP quarterback to miss three days of practice

Lamar Jackson has missed the first three days of Ravens training camp with an undisclosed illness, but the MVP quarterback is close to returning.

Head coach John Harbaugh provided his best update on Jackson after Tuesday’s session, telling the media that his quarterback awaits clearance from Baltimore’s medical staff.

Backup quarterback Josh Johnson has taken the valuable first-team snaps again for Baltimore. At the same time, rookie signal-callers Devin Leary and Emory Jones have benefited from three days of increased reps.
