CLEVELAND (WJZ) – When Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson disappeared late in Monday night’s game against the Cleveland Browns, fans began to speculate what led him to leave the field.
Some fans thought he left to go to the bathroom.
On Tuesday morning, Jackson tweeted, “You trippin definitely didn’t take any [enter poop emoji]”

It was finally the ramps that sent him to the locker room, he said.
“I started having ramps in the field,” Jackson said. “The two passes I threw, just before those passes to Willie and Mark, the wrecks, I was squeezing (my) throwing arm.”
Jackson said his legs started to have cramps. He left the field and went to the locker room to be treated and stretched.

In the fourth quarter, he returned after junior quarterback Trace McSorley was injured and it looked like the team would run out of quarterback.
He also denied using the bathroom during the post-game press conference:

“I was in cramps,” he repeated after a reporter’s question about the bathroom rumor. “He wasn’t pulling a Paul Pierce.”
