Lamar Jackson Misses Day 2 of Ravens OTAs as Coach Expects 2-Time MVP Back Soon

Tuesday’s media-open Ravens OTA began without Lamar Jackson, leaving the reason for the 2-time NFL MVP’s absence unclear.
Coach Jesse Minter said Jackson had “a couple things going on” over the past two days, called him a leader in the offseason program and said he expects him back soon.
The absence drew notice because Jackson’s participation in voluntary offseason work has been uneven during his career, even though he attended Baltimore’s April minicamp under Minter.
Contract questions still hover in the background: Jackson has 2 years left on his deal, and the Ravens restructured it for cap space after failing to reach an extension before free agency.
Baltimore’s first offseason under Minter follows January’s firing of John Harbaugh after 18 seasons, adding extra scrutiny to Jackson’s attendance as the new regime takes shape.
