The NFL hit the Baltimore Ravens with a hefty fine for improperly reporting quarterback Lamar Jackson’s practice attendance last Friday.
The NFL fined the Ravens $100,000 for violating the league’s injury reporting policy, according to ESPN.
The NFL believes the error came from negligence, not that the Ravens were trying to gain a competitive advantage. Had the NFL found the violation to be intentional, the potential discipline could have resulted in the loss of draft picks, according to the report.

“It is imperative that the Baltimore Ravens always operate with integrity and in full compliance with NFL guidelines,” the team said in a statement.
“We clearly made a mistake in reporting player injuries and cooperated transparently with the league’s investigation. We accept the decision by the NFL that we violated the policy and have taken steps to ensure we will comply going forward. We will not appeal the ruling and are focused on our upcoming game against the Vikings.”
Jackson was labeled a limited participant on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday of last week and then was named a full participant on Friday despite making the scout team.

The two-time MVP was then downgraded to limited and eventually ruled out for the team’s game against the Chicago Bears.

With two wins in five days, the Ravens have improved to 3-5 after a terrible start to the season and are right in the middle of the race in the AFC North.
The Ravens next game is against the Vikings (3-4) on Nov. 9.
