The Ravens began training camp Wednesday without Lamar Jackson after he tested positive for COVID-19, a diagnosis that will sideline the franchise quarterback for an indefinite amount of time.
Amid sunny skies and the return of fans at the Under Armour Performance Center, it cast a cloud of uncertainty on a day when coach John Harbaugh and players relished a return to normalcy after the pandemic warped the 2020 NFL season with restrictions.
Harbaugh said Jackson tested negative upon his arrival at the team’s facility last Wednesday but returned a positive test Tuesday.
