On Week 13, the Baltimore Ravens recorded a win against the Denver Broncos. While the win should have made for a happy camp, the fact that former MVP and Ravens’ starting QB Lamar Jackson suffered an injury made for some concerning evening. The 25-year-old has not yet returned to the team. But the popular figure has still managed to engage with the fans on a regular. Especially with his latest Twitter activity, highlighting a popular phone issue.

Here are some replies by people who tried to give an explanation for the strategy.
@Apple claims it's less waste but truth is they don't care about waste. If they did they'd use USBC like everyone else. It's better business if they can sell you a phone and then a charger on top of the phone purchase. This is why they do what they do. It's all about money 🤑

So Apple can make as much money as possible

They say it’s for “environmental reasons” and it helps reduce the “carbon footprint” and “plastic waste” for each unit sold. But then you buy the charger separately in its own packaging, effectively using 2x the packaging material. Total scam.

Although the QB is away from the turf, it seems like, with this important question, he has found a good way to pass his time.

Things are not looking good for the Ravens
The Ravens have already clinched a spot in this year’s playoffs. However, the chances that their trip to the postseason will be without their star QB seems more and more likely. According to reports, the former MVP has missed 12 straight practice sessions following his PCL injury. The bigger worry this week came with the development that Jackson was not coming to his own treatment.
Team head coach John Harbaugh was questioned about the player’s absence from the practices. But the 60-year-old deflected the subject by saying, “I’m just coaching the guys that are out here.”

This is also the last contract year for Jackson, who is yet to commit to a new deal with his team. So it is more than probable that the player is prioritizing his health over any playoff games. The healthier the player, the healthier the contract offer.
