Not having QB Lamar Jackson for Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears is bad enough. But the Baltimore Ravens might feel even more negativity from its starting quarterback missing for another game despite week-long belief he would return for Week 8’s game. The NFL could bring the hammer down on the Ravens for misreporting Jackson’s health status and practice participation after noting him as a full participant during Friday’s practice.
That change Saturday. The Ravens changed course and announced Jackson was limited, not full, Friday and had been downgraded from questionable to out. It’s an incredibly rare move that has no recent precedent, especially regarding a notable position like quarterback and notable name like Jackson’s.
