NFL Fines Ravens $100,000 Over Lamar Jackson Injury Report Error

The league judged the misreporting negligent, resulting in a monetary penalty rather than draft-pick sanctions.

Overview

  • Baltimore incorrectly listed Lamar Jackson as a full practice participant on Friday, Oct. 24, although he took only scout-team reps while rehabbing a hamstring injury.
  • The team retroactively changed his status to limited the next day and ruled him out for Week 8 against the Bears.
  • NFL policy requires players who do not take starter reps to be designated limited regardless of total practice time, a standard the league cited in its decision.
  • The Ravens cooperated with the investigation, accepted the $100,000 fine, will not appeal, and the NFL issued no draft-pick penalties or suspensions after finding no intent to deceive.
  • Tyler Huntley started in the win over Chicago, and Jackson returned the following week with four touchdown passes in a 28-6 victory at Miami.
