Lamar Jackson Turns Up Leadership at Camp as Ravens Back His Week 1 Readiness

Analysts still point to his playoff record as the hurdle he must clear.

Overview

  • After a brief hand scare at practice, Jackson returned to the field as quarterbacks coach Tee Martin said he sensed two weeks ago the quarterback was ready for the opener.
  • Head coach John Harbaugh praised the roster, telling reporters he views Baltimore as a "really good football team" heading into the season.
  • The Ravens reinforced their lineup with DeAndre Hopkins, retained Derrick Henry on a new deal, extended Kyle Hamilton to a record safety contract, and added veteran help in the secondary.
  • Pro Football Focus analyst John Kosko highlighted Jackson’s 3-5 playoff mark and said cutting out critical mistakes in January remains the missing piece.
  • Reporters noted a more vocal, demanding approach from Jackson in camp, with Baltimore set to open in prime time against the Bills.
