NFL fines the Baltimore Ravens $100,000 over the inaccurate injury report
involving Lamar Jackson
NEW YORK (AP) --- The Baltimore Ravens have been fined $100,000 by the NFL for
incorrectly listing star quarterback Lamar Jackson as a full participant in
practice on Oct. 24.
The league disclosed the fine for violating the injury report policy Friday.
A week earlier, Baltimore listed Jackson as a full participant and said he was
questionable for that week's game against Chicago. Then a day later, the Ravens
ruled the two-time MVP out for that game and said he'd actually been limited in
practice the previous day.
Baltimore said the reason for the mix-up was that he'd participated in the
entire practice but wasn't taking starter reps, which made him limited
according to league policy.
The Ravens said Friday they would not appeal the NFL's ruling.
"It is critical that the Baltimore Ravens always operate with integrity and in
full accordance with NFL guidelines. We clearly made an error regarding player
injury reporting and cooperated transparently with the league's investigation,"
the team said in a statement. "We accept the decision by the NFL that we
violated the policy and have taken steps to ensure that we will be compliant
moving forward."
