To the extent that the Ravens listed quarterback Lamar Jackson as being a \u201cfull\u201d participant in practice on Friday as part of an effort to get the Bears to plan to defend the two-time MVP and not Tyler Huntley, it worked.<\/p>\n
As explained by Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times, the Bears were preparing to face Jackson.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were looking at tape of him and saw him practicing all week . . . so we had to flip our minds to the next quarterback<\/a>,\u201d safety Jaquan Brisker said after the game, per Lieser. \u201cIt was a big difference.\u201d<\/p>\n Brisker added that the Bears dumped multiple schemes that had been implemented to defend against Jackson. And the pivot to Huntley was not effective.<\/p>\n Huntley completed 17 of 22 passes fo 186 yards and a touchdown in a 30-16 win. He also had a passer rating of 116.9, a career high.<\/p>\n That said, Bears safety Kevin Byard called the potential misdirection a non-factor. Byard pointed to the struggles of the team\u2019s defense. Meanwhile, defensive Grady Jarrett said he didn\u2019t believe the Ravens were engaged in malfeasance<\/a>.<\/p>\n The NFL will be the ultimate judge of that. At a minimum, the Ravens violated the injury-reporting policy<\/a> by listing Jackson as being a \u201cfull\u201d participant when he should have been listed as \u201climited.\u201d If the league decides it was done as a deliberate ruse to hide the truth about who would play, the penalties (by rule) will be enhanced<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"To the extent that the Ravens listed quarterback Lamar Jackson as being a \u201cfull\u201d participant in practice on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":256331,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-256330","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-nfl","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256330","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=256330"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256330\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/256331"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=256330"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=256330"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=256330"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
