The Ravens were fined $100,000 for their Lamar Jackson injury report snafu during Week 8<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The NFL found that the team violated the league\u2019s injury report policy by listing the star quarterback as a \u201cfull participant\u201d in last Friday\u2019s practice despite taking reps with the scout team.\u00a0<\/p>\n

League officials found that the team violated the rule out of \u201cnegligence\u201d and \u201cnot an attempt to gain a competitive advantage,\u201d according to ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Had Baltimore been found \u201cintentional or competitive in nature\u201d with the injury report mistake, the Ravens could have been facing a loss of draft picks, per Schefter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is critical that the Baltimore Ravens always operate with integrity and in full accordance with NFL guidelines,\u201d a statement from the Ravens, who reportedly fully complied with the league\u2019s investigation, read. \u201cWe clearly made an error regarding player injury reporting and cooperated transparently with the league\u2019s investigation. We accept the decision by the NFL that we violated the policy and have taken steps to ensure that we will be compliant moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

After missing the previous two games with a hamstring injury, Jackson appeared to be trending toward a return ahead of the Ravens\u2019 clash with the Bears last Sunday when the team listed him as a full participant in their Friday practice.<\/p>\n

The next day, Jackson\u2019s practice status was retroactively downgraded from \u201cfull\u201d to \u201climited\u201d for the Friday workout and shockingly ruled out for Sunday\u2019s game, which the Ravens ended up winning 30-16 with Tyler Huntley behind center.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Ravens released a statement later on Saturday<\/a>, stating that Jackson \u201cwas present and participated fully in [their] entire Friday practice,\u201d but decided to make the designation change because he worked out with the backups.<\/p>\n

\u201cUpon further evaluation and after conferring with the league office, because Lamar didn\u2019t take starter reps in practice, we updated our report to reflect his practice participation,\u201d the statement read.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The league\u2019s injury report policy states that \u201cparticipation on the scout team\u201d due to an injury \u201cby a player whose normal repetitions would be with the starters\u201d would require the team to list the player as \u201climited.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jackson returned after missing three games on Thursday night against the Dolphins in Miami, leading the Ravens to a 28-6 victory<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Ravens were fined $100,000 for their Lamar Jackson injury report snafu during Week 8.\u00a0 The NFL found…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":254080,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,631,628,593,85],"class_list":["post-254079","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\/254079","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=254079"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254079\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/254080"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254079"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=254079"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=254079"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
