Lamar Jackson not at first Ravens OTA session, but expected to participate this week, per report

The Baltimore Ravens held their first OTA practice on Monday, and star quarterback Lamar Jackson was not present. However, these workouts are voluntary, and Jackson is expected to arrive and participate in sessions this week, per ESPN. 

Of course, the 2019 NFL MVP signed a five-year deal worth $260 million, which includes $185 million guaranteed, last month. Jackson’s new AAV of $52 million makes him the highest-paid player in NFL history, ahead of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts.

Jackson averaged 186.8 passing yards per contest and recorded 17 passing touchdowns and seven interceptions in 12 games played in 2022. He went 8-4 as the starter before suffering a PCL injury that knocked him out for the rest of the season. The Ravens still went 10-7, making the playoffs as a wild card.
