The NFL has fined the Baltimore Ravens $100,000 for violating its injury report policy. The fine follows an incident where the team incorrectly listed quarterback Lamar Jackson’s practice participation last week. The league’s injury report guidelines require teams to accurately report players’ participation status, and the Ravens were cited for failing to adhere to these standards. This penalty highlights the NFL’s commitment to maintaining transparency and accountability in player health management.
According to reports, the mistake was identified during a league audit of the Ravens’ injury reports. The NFL’s policy mandates that teams accurately reflect the participation of all players in practice sessions, including any limitations or injuries they may have. The Ravens’ failure to correctly report Jackson’s status has prompted the league to enforce stricter compliance measures across all franchises.
