NFL preseason roundup: Lamar Jackson leads Ravens past Packers

Lamar Jackson directed two scoring drives during a limited appearance, had an impressive touchdown run erased by a penalty and sparked the host Baltimore Ravens to a 26-13 victory over the Green Bay Packers, who played Thursday night without quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Rodgers developed back stiffness and was a late scratch, a move the team labeled as a “precaution.”

Instead, DeShone Kizer, Tim Boyle and Manny Wilkins struggled against a defense that last year was ranked No. 1 in the NFL.

Jets 22, Falcons 10: Matt Ryan and Sam Darnold both appear ready for the regular season.

Ryan looked sharp in his preseason debut for Atlanta, completing nine straight passes, and Darnold led visiting New York on another scoring drive.

After sitting out the first two exhibition games, Ryan played most of the first half. He completed 10 of 14 passes for 118 yards.

The Jets are certainly pleased with Darnold, who followed up a marvelous drive in the preseason opener by completing 5 of 7 passes for 46 yards.

Eagles 24, Jaguars 10: Philadelphia third-string quarterback Cody Kessler was knocked out of the team’s win in Jacksonville on the opening drive. Defensive end Datone Jones came unblocked off the edge and walloped Kessler in the back.

Kessler was escorted to the sideline, evaluated for a head injury in the locker room and then placed in the concussion protocol. The team already was without backup Nate Sudfeld, who broke his left wrist in the team’s preseason opener against Tennessee. Starter Carson Wentz rested for the second straight game.

Bengals 23, Redskins 13: Washington first-round pick Dwayne Haskins made strong throws and his share of mistakes, and fellow rookie Ryan Finley continued to make his case to be Cincinnati’s backup quarterback during a win in Landover, Maryland.

Haskins threw a 55-yard TD pass to camp standout Robert Davis and was 7 of 14 for 114 yards with a fumble. The 15th overall pick took two sacks but showed poise under pressure and was more effective than veteran Case Keenum, who played the first three drives and was 3 of 7 for 52 yards.

Raiders 33, Cardinals 26: Kyler Murray’s second outing as an NFL quarterback didn’t go nearly as well as his first, and the Raiders moved the ball with ease on the Cardinals’ top defensive units in Glendale, Arizona.

Murray, the first overall pick in this year’s NFL draft who looked sharp in his debut last Thursday against the Los Angeles Chargers, finished 3 of 8 for 12 yards. He also ran once for 4 yards, and the Cardinals went three-and-out on two of his four series.

Raiders backup Mike Glennon completed 11 of 14 passes for 175 yards and two touchdowns in Oakland’s second preseason win.
