The NFL fined the Baltimore Ravens for incorrectly including quarterback Lamar Jackson’s participation in practice last Friday.
The NFL fined the Ravens $100,000 for violating the league’s injury reporting policy, according to ESPN.
The NFL believes the mistake was due to negligence, not the Ravens trying to gain a competitive advantage. Had the NFL determined the violation was intentional, the potential discipline could have resulted in a loss of draft picks, according to the report.

“It is critical 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 regarding player injury reporting and we transparently cooperated with the league’s investigation. We accept the NFL’s decision that we violated policy and have taken steps to ensure we will comply in the future. We will not appeal the ruling and are focused on our next 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 leading the scouting team.

The two-time MVP was then demoted to limited and ultimately ruled out for the team’s game against the Chicago Bears.
Tyler “Snoop” Huntley started in Jackson’s place and led the team to a 30-16 victory over the Bears. Jackson returned to the field in the team’s 28-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night.

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.
