NFL to Review Ravens' Injury Report on Lamar Jackson

Summary

The NFL is set to review the Baltimore Ravens' handling of quarterback Lamar Jackson's injury status after the team retroactively adjusted his practice participation designation.

The NFL has announced plans to review the Baltimore Ravens' recent adjustments to quarterback Lamar Jackson's injury status. Initially listed as a full participant in Friday's practice, Jackson was later downgraded to limited participation, and subsequently ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears.

In a statement, the Ravens explained, "Lamar Jackson was present for and participated fully in our entire Friday practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears. Upon further evaluation today and after conferring with the league office, because Lamar didn't take starter reps in practice, we updated our report to reflect his practice participation."

NFL policy stipulates that if a player does not take their normal repetitions during team practice due to medical reasons, they should be listed as having limited participation.

The league's review will determine if the Ravens' reporting adhered to these guidelines. A league spokesperson stated, "The league reviews any matter involving a change to a player's status."

Jackson, a two-time league MVP, is set to miss his third consecutive game due to a hamstring injury. Tyler Huntley is expected to start in his place. The Ravens, currently holding a 1-5 record, are seeking to revive their playoff hopes.
