John Harbaugh addresses Lamar Jackson's absence from Week 2 of Ravens OTAs

After making two appearances last week, Baltimore MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson has missed the second week of OTAs, which were held on June 3, June 5, and June 6. The Ravens have three more sessions scheduled before the mandatory minicamp this month, and head coach John Harbaugh has no concerns about his star quarterback's absence.

Following Friday's session, Harbaugh was asked about Jackson's absence and gave a strong response.

John Harbaugh on Lamar Jackson not attending the Ravens’ second week of voluntary OTA: "The measure for any player is how they play. I'm not measuring really the attendance. It’s a voluntary camp.

If big game results are what Harbaugh is focused on, then the Ravens will be fine when Jackson returns for mini-camp and late July training camp. Last season, Jackson was a finalist for the Associated Press NFL MVP and Offensive Player of the Year awards.

Leading Baltimore to its second straight AFC North title, Jackson was first-team All-Pro and set career highs for passing yards (4,172), touchdown passes (41), quarterback rating (119.6), and completions (316).

Jackson led the NFL in rushing yards by a quarterback (915) and became the first player in league history with at least 4,000 passing yards and 800 rushing yards. He also became the league's all-time rushing leader at quarterback with 6,173 yards, surpassing the previous record held by Michael Vick (6,109).
