Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is taking the night off on Saturday.
Jackson is not playing in the Ravens’ first preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., tight end Mark Andrews, and tackle Ronnie Stanley are also not suiting up.
John Harbaugh said the Ravens’ “established starters” wouldn’t play tonight.
Here are some players not participating in pre-game warmups: QB Lamar Jackson, WR Odell Beckham Jr. , TE Mark Andrews and OT Ronnie Stanley.
There will be more not playing in the game.

This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone since a lot of the top starters on teams sit out a good chunk of the preseason.
Jackson and Co. will likely play in the Ravens’ second preseason game next week against the Washington Commanders since that’s usually considered the “dress rehearsal” game.
Tyler Huntley and Josh Johnson will start at quarterback for the Ravens as they try and extend their preseason winning streak to 24. It’s the longest preseason winning streak in league history with their last loss coming in September of 2015.
This game got underway at 7 p.m. ET and you can watch it on NFL Network.
