OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Lamar Jackson missed practice for the Baltimore Ravens on Wednesday.

Coach John Harbaugh said the star quarterback had a rest day, but the Ravens did list him on their injury report with back and knee issues.

Jackson played until the end of Baltimore's loss to Cleveland on Sunday, and there wasn't any sign of a significant problem. The Ravens host Denver this weekend.

Jackson is off to perhaps the best start of his career, with a passer rating of 115.4. He's thrown for 2,099 yards and 17 touchdowns with only two interceptions. He also has 501 yards rushing.
