Baltimore Ravens fans surely didn't like the news that came out Wednesday.
Superstar QB Lamar Jackson sat out the first practice of Week 11 with an injury.
Jackson has only been back two weeks from a hamstring injury that sidelined him for nearly a month.
Baltimore is on a three-game winning streak. Tyler Huntley got the win in Week 8, then Jackson won in Weeks 9 and 10. That has pushed the Ravens' record to 4-5 and put them right in the thick of the playoff race.
It'd be painful if Jackson all of a sudden was out again, but the news doesn't sound as bad as it could've been.

Is Lamar Jackson playing this week?
Lamar Jackson still sounds likely to play in Week 11, based on what head coach John Harbaugh said after Wednesday's practice.
"He should be OK," Harbaugh told reporters, adding that this injury doesn't have anything to do with Jackson's past hamstring problem.
The Ravens listed Jackson's injury as knee soreness, which while not sounding ideal also sounds like something that is being managed more than it is likely to keep him out.
Baltimore plays at the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. The Ravens have lost three of their last four games in Cleveland.
And for all of the Browns' struggles this season, they still have a strong defense led by edge rusher Myles Garrett. The Ravens sure would feel better having Jackson out there playing as they try to extend their win streak.
