Adam Schefter believes the Baltimore Ravens were not quite honest about Lamar Jackson's injury.

Jackson's foot got stepped on during Wednesday's practice session. He left early as the Ravens decided to give him time to recover and minimise the chances of aggravating the injury.

On "NFL on ESPN" on Thursday, Schefter questioned the situation surrounding the Ravens quarterback.

"It sounds like it's a little bit scarier than the Ravens led on," Schefter said. "Because they did take X-rays, they did say there were no signs of broken bones or any issues, and John Harbaugh admitted his prayers were answered. So, if that was nothing, he wouldn't have to pray that Lamar Jackson's X-rays would have turned out the way they did.

"He didn't practice today. Second day straight- and look they don't have Lamar Jackson out there right now. They need him out there for the start of the regular season. So I'd imagine they'll give that foot a couple weeks to heal. It certainly sounds like the tests came back as well as they could've hoped."

Ravens coach John Harbaugh had indicated that the injury was not serious.

"He got his foot stepped on like we said yesterday," Harbaugh said on Thursday. "They did a quick X-ray and there's no damage or anything like that. I'm sure it's a little sore today, so we just kept him in. But he's fine. He's going to be good.

"It was a big relief," Harbaugh added. "I told the guys, I said, 'prayers get answered.' Because I was praying. God came through. But he's good."
