Lamar Jackson's Close Call on Bike Ride to Practice Raises Concerns

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson caused a stir on Thursday when he nearly lost control of his bike while heading to practice. The incident occurred as he was high-fiving fans en route to training camp with the Green Bay Packers. For a brief moment, both of Jackson's feet slipped off the pedals, but he managed to regain control and laughed off the scare. Fans expressed their concern on social media following the incident, with many commenting on the potential dangers of such a close call. One user humorously suggested, "Geez Lamar lol I appreciate the high fives but damn dude don’t break your ankle doing this," while another quipped about the need for "training wheels." The lighthearted reactions highlighted the fans' affection for Jackson, as well as their worries about his safety. Jackson was not alone in his biking adventure, as several Ravens players participated in the tradition of riding bikes to practice, a custom embraced by the Packers during their training camp. The Ravens' official account on X acknowledged the fun, stating, "Thanks for letting us join in on the fun." As the Ravens prepare for their final preseason game against the Chiefs in Kansas City on September 5, and the Packers gear up for their season opener against the Eagles on September 6, the focus remains on ensuring player safety as they head into the regular season.
