NFL gives Ravens slap on the wrist for Lamar Jackson injury report snafu

The NFL has fined the Baltimore Ravens $100,000 for inaccurately reporting quarterback Lamar Jackson's practice status. Jackson was listed as a "full" participant in practice, suggesting he would start against the Chicago Bears, despite not taking his usual first-team reps, which should have been reported as "limited." The league determined the violation was due to negligence rather than an attempt to gain a competitive advantage. The Ravens cooperated with the investigation, avoiding harsher penalties such as draft pick losses. This incident follows other recent fines, including those against the Atlanta Falcons for failing to disclose a player's illness. The timing coincides with increased scrutiny on sports integrity, following scandals in other leagues.
