NFL injury tracker Week 9: Lamar Jackson misses practice again, Micah Parsons likely out, Patriots ‘hopeful’ about Drake Maye

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson missed practice for a second straight day on Thursday. His absence on Wednesday was labeled a rest day by head coach John Harbaugh, but he later appeared on the team’s injury report with a back and neck issue.

Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken said on Thursday, “It is what it is,” regarding Jackson’s absence.

Parsons suffered a high ankle sprain against the New York Giants in Week 4. He has already missed three games and it’s like he will miss at least a fourth week for the Cowboys.

Saints’ Derek Carr set to return after missing three games

Quarterback Derek Carr will be back under center for the New Orleans Saints against the Carolina Panthers after sitting out three games due to an oblique injury.

Jake Haener will serve as his backup despite the fact that rookie Spencer Rattler started the last several games in Carr’s absence.

“We felt like Rattler gave us the best chance at the time, and so I think we’ll see where we’re at come this weekend, what the expectation is. My expectation is that Derek’s going to be ready to go,” Allen said, via ESPN’s Katherine Terrell. “In that case, Jake will be the backup … I don’t want to get into the…
