Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh emphasized Friday that his primary concern is Lamar Jackson’s performance on game day, not his attendance at voluntary organized team activities (OTAs). Lamar Jackson missed his second straight week of voluntary OTAs, sparking questions about a possible contract dispute.
Harbaugh downplayed any connection between Jackson’s absence and extension talks, praising the quarterback’s on-field performance when he played last season. “I’m not measuring attendance. When Lamar’s out here, he loves being out here,” Harbaugh said.
Jackson reportedly missed five of six OTAs this offseason. He wasn’t alone, other notable absences included Derrick Henry, Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, and DeAndre Hopkins.
