Lamar Jackson and other starters ruled out for preseason opener

During his post-practice press conference on Saturday, Baltimore Ravens’ Head Coach John Harbaugh ruled a number of veteran starters out for Week 1 of the preseason.

Specifically, Harbaugh said Lamar Jackson, Mark Andrews, Justin Houston, Marcus Williams and Marlon Humphrey will not suit up this Thursday. He also mentioned that some decisions on other players hadn’t been made yet.

"We won't be playing Lamar... Mark's not going to play."
