Overview
- Jackson missed a voluntary OTA practice during the first week of workouts for a private matter that coach Jesse Minter said he discussed directly with the quarterback.
- Jackson reported to the Ravens’ organized team activities and practiced on Tuesday, rejoining drills and team work at the OTA facility.
- Head coach Jesse Minter called Jackson “one of our leaders of the offseason program” and said he expected the quarterback back after their conversations.
- Jackson is now working with new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle and four rookie pass-catchers — Ja'Kobi Lane, Elijah Sarratt, Matt Hibner and Josh Cuevas — as the team installs its next offensive scheme.
- OTAs are voluntary but carry practical stakes: the team’s sessions are part of a phased offseason program and Jackson has a $750,000 attendance bonus tied to hitting 80 percent of offseason sessions, a threshold he did not reach the past two years, so future attendance and chemistry with new targets are points to watch.
