The Baltimore Ravens<\/a> have been waiting for Lamar Jackson to return to the field, but it won\u2019t be in Week 8 against the Chicago Bears<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It seemed as though Jackson was ready to play against Chicago, as Baltimore listed him as a full participant in Friday\u2019s practice. However, the Ravens declared him out for the game on Saturday, putting them in the spotlight after needing to change Jackson\u2019s injury status from Friday.<\/p>\n

As a result, Baltimore could face discipline from the league if the NFL determines the Ravens violated the rules. Here\u2019s a breakdown of what happened.<\/p>\n

What happened to Lamar Jackson?<\/p>\n

After missing the previous two games, along with enjoying a bye week, Lamar Jackson appeared ready to return for the Ravens against the Bears. Jackson practiced throughout the week, and Baltimore listed him as a full participant in Friday\u2019s practice.<\/p>\n

However, on Saturday, Jackson\u2019s status took a turn. The Ravens retroactively changed his Friday practice designation to limited and ruled him out for Sunday\u2019s game, announcing that Tyler Huntley would get the start.<\/p>\n

This drew scrutiny among fans, as it is unusual for a team to change a player\u2019s practice designation the day after. In a statement, the Ravens clarified that Jackson participated fully but didn\u2019t take starter reps, and after discussing the situation with the NFL, they changed his designation to limited.<\/p>\n

Jackson took reps on the scout team, which is not what he would do if he were the unquestioned starter for the week. NFL rules state that a player who participates in scout team reps for injury reasons should be listed as a limited participant.<\/p>\n

Since the Ravens had to change Jackson’s practice participation designation, the NFL will look into it further as part of its policy regarding injury participation changes.<\/p>\n

Will the NFL fine the Ravens?<\/p>\n

If the NFL determines that the Ravens acted improperly in listing Jackson as a full participant in Friday\u2019s practice, the league could fine Baltimore. A recent example came in 2023, when the Atlanta Falcons<\/a> were fined $75,000, and then-head coach Arthur Smith was fined $25,000 for an incident surrounding Bijan Robinson.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NFL looking into Ravens’ late Lamar Jackson injury update: Why the QB\u2019s Week 8 status change drew league…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":240097,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[1766,1742,19206,49,48,1735,113120,2211,514,82,81098,32183],"class_list":{"0":"post-240096","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-atlanta-falcons","9":"tag-baltimore-ravens","10":"tag-bijan-robinson","11":"tag-ca","12":"tag-canada","13":"tag-chicago-bears","14":"tag-injury-status","15":"tag-lamar-jackson","16":"tag-nfl","17":"tag-sports","18":"tag-the-ravens","19":"tag-tyler-huntley"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240096","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=240096"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240096\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/240097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=240096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=240096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=240096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
