The Baltimore Ravens held their second day of OTA’s on Wednesday, however it was the first day with media present to view what was happening on the field. It was the first time quarterback Lamar Jackson had been on the field since November 2022 when he injured his knee against the Denver Broncos.
While Jackson returned, some Ravens veterans were still absent from OTAs, which is to be expected since they’re voluntary workouts. Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh opened up his press conference on Wednesday with a quote from an old coach, and shared his initial opening thoughts on the day of practice.

“Thanks for coming out. Beautiful day. As my old coach [at Miami (OH) University] Tom Reed used to say, ‘It’s a great day for football.’ Every day is a great day for football, and today was a great day for football. Our guys were into it, they were energetic [and] enthusiastic. They were on point for the vast, most part, especially second OTA [organized team activity] day, so as a coach, you feel good about that.”
