A hamstring injury has kept Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson<\/a> out for three games, but he\u2019s expected to return<\/a> Thursday against the Dolphins. The team announced<\/a> Jackson was a full participant in a walkthrough on Monday.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As it geared up for a Week 8 matchup with Chicago, Baltimore erred in announcing<\/a> Jackson as a full participant in last Friday\u2019s practice. Jackson was in attendance for the entire practice, but he only took snaps with the scout team.<\/p>\n

According to the NFL\u2019s injury policy, \u201cParticipation on the scout team, no matter how extensive, by a player whose normal repetitions would be with the starters but for his medical condition, would not alter the player\u2019s proper designation as \u2018Limited Participation.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The Ravens issued a correction Saturday, changing his practice status to limited while ruling him out for the game. Despite Jackson\u2019s absence, the Ravens defeated the Bears behind backup signal-caller Tyler Huntley<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said the team made an \u201chonest mistake\u201d regarding Jackson\u2019s injury designation last week (via Saad Yousuf of The Athletic<\/a>), the NFL is now reviewing the matter, Mark Maske of the Washington Post<\/a> relays.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe league will look into this,\u201d a league spokesperson said. \u201cThe league reviews any matter involving a change to a player\u2019s status.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NFL\u2019s investigation into the Ravens comes with the NBA embroiled in a gambling scandal<\/a> since last Thursday. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell sent a memo to teams on Friday \u201cregarding the gambling policy for league and team staffers,\u201d according to Maske. Additionally, the NFL Management Council sent a memo to teams regarding the league\u2019s gambling policy for players.<\/p>\n

Regarding the NBA scandal, the NFL wrote in the memo (via Maske), \u201cThese developments underscore the risks that all sports are facing in the current environment and serve as a reminder of the need to adhere strictly to the NFL Gambling Policy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The change in Jackson\u2019s status on Saturday did not reveal \u201cany unusual betting activity,\u201d Maske writes, though it did lead to a significant change in the spread. The Ravens opened as 6.5-point favorites. That figure immediately plummeted to 1.5 after they ruled the two-time MVP out.<\/p>\n

With the NBA in the midst of a PR nightmare, it\u2019s possible the NFL will come down hard on the Ravens. Forfeiture of draft picks, fines, and suspensions could all be on the table. According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk<\/a>, the NFL\u2019s \u201cPersonnel (Injury) Report Policy\u201d states that the commissioner \u201cmay deprive the offending club of a selection choice or choices, and\/or may fine the offending club and\/or may fine or suspend with or without pay any involved individuals as appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even if the NFL finds that the Ravens did just make an \u201chonest mistake,\u201d the team still violated league policy. Although it could be minor, it wouldn\u2019t be a surprise to see the Ravens receive some sort of punishment as a result.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A hamstring injury has kept Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson out for three games, but he\u2019s expected to return…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":245714,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,631,628,593,85],"class_list":["post-245713","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-baltimore-ravens","tag-lamar-jackson","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245713","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=245713"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245713\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/245714"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=245713"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=245713"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=245713"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
