NFL fines Ravens $100K for incorrectly listing Lamar Jackson on Week 8 injury report

The NFL fined the Baltimore Ravens $100,000 for incorrectly listing quarterback Lamar Jackson's practice participation status, violating the league's Injury Report Policy. The issue arose when Jackson was initially reported as a full participant on Friday before being downgraded to limited and then ruled out for the Week 8 game against the Chicago Bears. The Ravens accepted the fine and will not appeal. Team officials stated that the mistake was not intentional, and the NFL investigation confirmed it was due to negligence, not an attempt to gain competitive advantage. The Ravens cooperated with the investigation and have taken steps to ensure future compliance. In Jackson's absence, backup QB Tyler Huntley led the team to a 30-16 victory over the Bears. Jackson returned in Week 9, leading the Ravens to a 28-6 win over the Dolphins with four touchdown passes.
