BALTIMORE — After Sunday’s 30-16 win over the Chicago Bears, coach John Harbaugh called the Baltimore Ravens‘ violation of the NFL’s injury report policy regarding Lamar Jackson „an honest mistake.“
The Ravens could be subject to discipline by the league because they originally listed Jackson as a full participant in Friday’s practice when he only ran the scout team. Baltimore then changed Jackson’s practice participation to limited Saturday while also ruling him out with a right hamstring injury.
„It really is an honest mistake“, Harbaugh said. „I can tell you this: Nobody’s trying to hide anything. There’s no advantage to be gained with that.“
Jackson had been listed as a limited participant for practices Wednesday and Thursday. When he was upgraded to a full participant Friday, it suggested that the two-time NFL Most Valuable Player was trending toward playing.
After Friday’s practice, Harbaugh said Jackson had a „full practice“ but didn’t point out that Jackson received no snaps with the first-team offense.
