Lamar noncommittal about vaccine after 2nd COVID-19 bout

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was noncommittal about getting vaccinated against COVID-19 after testing positive for the virus for the second time in eight months.

"I just got off the COVID list," Jackson said, according to ESPN's Jamison Hensley. "I got to talk to my team about this and see how they feel about it. Keep learning as much as I can about it. We'll go from there."

Jackson said "we'll see" when asked if he's now considering getting vaccinated.

The 2019 MVP missed 10 days of practice due to the NFL's regulations for unvaccinated players who test positive. He said he dealt with the same symptoms after being reinfected and slept a lot due to fatigue.

Jackson was held out of a rescheduled game against the Pittsburgh Steelers last season after being placed on the reserve list due to a positive test. The star signal-caller was among a large group of Ravens forced to isolate following an outbreak toward the end of the season.

But despite multiple positive tests, Jackson still believes getting vaccinated is a "personal decision."

"I'm just going to keep my feelings to my family and myself," he said. "I'm focused on getting better right now. I can't dwell on ... how everybody else feels. Just trying to get back to the right routine."
