BALTIMORE (AP) 鈥� Baltimore coach John Harbaugh called his team’s injury list mix-up an 鈥渉onest mistake鈥� after the Ravens listed Lamar Jackson as a full participant in practice Friday, then retroactively changed the designation to limited the following day.
鈥淣obody’s trying to hide anything,鈥� Harbaugh said after Baltimore’s over Chicago on Sunday. 鈥淭here’s no advantage to be gained with that.鈥�
On Friday, the Ravens listed Jackson as a full participant in practice and as questionable for Sunday’s game. Then, on Saturday, Baltimore ruled Jackson out for Sunday and said he’d actually been limited Friday. The was that Jackson had practiced 鈥渇ully鈥� 鈥� but that because he didn’t take starter reps, he should have been listed as limited.
The NFL said it would look into the matter. According to league policy, full participation means 100% of a player鈥檚 normal repetitions.
鈥淚鈥檓 not involved in those rules. I don鈥檛 know those particular rules. I think in their defense, he practiced a full practice,鈥� Harbaugh said. 鈥淚 think they felt like because he did the same number of reps it was a full practice, but when you dig in and you read the rule, at the end of the day it wasn鈥檛 right. As soon as we found out, we changed it.鈥�
Harbaugh was asked who he was referring to as 鈥渢hey鈥� in that comment.
鈥淭hat鈥檚 in the training room, and the PR and the other side,鈥� he said.
Harbaugh seemed unclear on what status designations are available.
鈥淚 do think if we’d had the old status, maybe they would have said doubtful. Maybe? I don’t know,鈥� he said. 鈥淏ut questionable or out, we weren’t going to say out because he wasn’t out until Saturday, when that conversation was had on the medical side.鈥�
Doubtful is still a designation that can be used on the injury report.
Tyler Huntley ended up starting in Jackson’s place and led the Ravens to their highest-scoring game since Week 3 鈥� the last time they had Jackson for a full game.
鈥淲e always prepare for Lamar,鈥� Chicago coach Ben Johnson said. 鈥淭hen when we found out he wasn鈥檛 playing, it was get ready for the next guy.鈥�
