Baltimore Ravens uploaded the video of their QB in which he could be heard saying, “What’s going on guys? We are back at the king’s castle. I hope you’re ready for the season because I’m surely is. Let’s do it.”
Jackson had missed the OTAs organized by the Ravens in the last month. While being questioned about Lamar Jackson, coach John Harbaugh said, “I know he’s working hard. Lamar Jackson is a hard worker, so I’m not worried about how hard he’s working. I fully expect him to come back in great shape.” Raven’s head coach was not worried at all, and he believed Jackson will make an appearance in the upcoming mandatory minicamps.
He further said, “I’m sure he’s throwing. I’m sure he’s doing a good job. And when he gets back here, we’ll be rolling with Lamar. Right now, we roll with the guys we’ve got, and when he gets here, he’ll merge right in with everybody, and we’ll go to work with Lamar.”
Lamar Jackson has reached the last year of his rookie contract with the Ravens. Although the OTAs are not compulsory, still Jackson never missed a practice session in his last 4-seasons.
