“He’s fine,” Harbaugh said after Thursday’s practice. “He’s going to be good.”

Harbaugh did acknowledge that there was uncertainty Wednesday when the two-time NFL Most Valuable Player left the practice field 40 minutes early. But Harbaugh breathed a sigh of relief when the team got the encouraging X-ray results.

“I told the guys, ‘Prayers do get answered,'” Harbaugh said. “I was praying.”

Jackson didn’t practice Thursday, which marked the first time he was sidelined by injury this summer.

“I’m sure it’s a little sore,” Harbaugh said.

On Wednesday. Jackson was knocked to the ground during team drills. He stayed to throw a couple more passes before heading into the team facility with members of the training staff.
