The Baltimore Ravens have been working hard at their organized team activities over the last few days. Being around their teammates and being able to take the field with them gives everyone the chance to become more familiar with one another while also getting a feel for practicing alongside some of the newer players on the roster.
One of the big storylines for Baltimore has been the absence of quarterback Lamar Jackson. The veteran hasn’t been present over the course of the first two days of the activities, and a few of his teammates weighed in on the topic in tight end Mark Andrews and cornerback Marlon Humphrey. Andrews talked about how he knows how hard Jackson works, and isn’t worried about his absence.

Humphrey discussed how if it were training camp then it’d be a bit of a different story, but as long as players are working hard that’s the biggest thing for him. He also mentioned that he spoke with Jackson earlier in the offseason and said that he’ll be coming in soon.
