The Baltimore Ravens kicked off their 2022 organized team activities on Tuesday, and on Wednesday their practice was open to the media. Among the players not present was quarterback Lamar Jackson, which was the subject of many mixed reviews and opinions.

When asked about the star quarterback’s absence from OTAs, Harbaugh didn’t have much to say. He opted to let Jackson speak for himself on the matter, saying that it’s not for him to speak for somebody else and leaving the questions as to why the four-year veteran isn’t with the team open.

When Jackson ends up returning to the facility, he’ll likely face a few questions about why he didn’t show up for the first few days of OTAs. It’s certainly fair to wonder, but the organized activities are voluntary so his attendance isn’t required.
