Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson explained that injuries sustained in 2025 were the primary reason for a decrease in his rushing attempts, marking the fewest of his eight-year NFL career.
Jackson, speaking recently, directly connected his physical condition to his running statistics. He stated, “Injuries to blame for fewer runs in 2025.” This explanation comes after a season where he noticeably ran the ball less frequently than in previous years.
The Ravens quarterback did not specify the nature or severity of the injuries, only that they impacted his ability and willingness to run with the ball. The 2025 season saw a clear shift in Jackson’s playing style, with a greater emphasis on passing and less reliance on his rushing ability, a hallmark of his earlier career. The change in approach, he indicated, was a direct response to his physical limitations during the season.
While the specific details of the injuries remain undisclosed, Jackson’s comments provide insight into the factors influencing his on-field performance and strategic decisions throughout the 2025 season. His statement clarifies that the reduction in rushing attempts wasn't a coaching decision or a change in offensive philosophy, but rather a necessary adjustment due to his physical health.
