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

The league ruled the mislabeling was negligent, sparing Baltimore draft-pick penalties.

Overview

  • Baltimore listed Lamar Jackson as a full participant on Oct. 24 despite him taking scout-team reps, which under policy requires a limited designation.
  • The Ravens corrected the report the next day and ruled Jackson out for Week 8 against the Bears, with Tyler Huntley starting in a 30-16 win.
  • League discipline was limited to a $100,000 team fine with no individual penalties or suspensions, and the Ravens said they will not appeal.
  • Investigators cited full cooperation and noted that intentional deception could have triggered harsher measures, including potential loss of draft picks.
  • Jackson returned the following week and threw four touchdown passes in a 28-6 victory over the Dolphins.
