The Baltimore Ravens have kicked off their voluntary organized team activities, which are a key time for new and returning players to get some valuable reps in at the facility with teammates and coaches. However, one of the players who wasn’t in attendance for Wednesday’s open session to the media was quarterback Lamar Jackson.
There are multiple schools of thought when it comes to Jackson’s absence. When speaking on WBAL Radio, Ravens president Sashi Brown had some comments on the situation, saying that voluntary means voluntary and talked about the fifth-year player’s desire to be in Baltimore.
Ravens president Sashi Brown was asked about Lamar Jackson’s absence from OTAs on @wbalradio.
“Voluntary does means voluntary. Lamar’s been out working this offseason … so no, I don’t think any reason for alarm.”

More Sashi Brown on Lamar Jackson (via @wbalradio): “He’s been very vocal in terms of his support and desire to be in Baltimore. We’re pleased that’s he’s out there working and not going to make a big deal out of this.”
