Baltimore Ravens superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson has reported for the second day of voluntary OTAs, multiple sources reported Tuesday.
The $260 million man missed the first day of voluntary OTAs, but was expected to rejoin his teammates this week. He also stated earlier this month that he would be at OTAs “soon”.
He will return to the Ravens’ field on Wednesday, the paper reports ESPNwhich will be his first participation in the voluntary portion of the team’s practices and first time taking the field for the team since the season-ending knee injury on December 4.
Baltimore has only one mandatory mini-camp scheduled for training camp and it will take place June 13-15.
Jackson signed a five-year, $260 million contract in April that includes a $72.5 million off-season signing bonus, making him the highest-paid player in NFL history by annual salary.

The Ravens also signed Odell Beckham Jr., along with other weapons for the receiving core
Last year, he missed all voluntary OTAs as the team was still trying to negotiate a deal but couldn’t agree on terms for the start of the season.
After being awarded the franchise title to begin this off-season, Jackson had requested a trade before the two sides could reach a deal.
Baltimore has added multiple new weapons for the 2019 MVP award winner in the form of free agent wide receiver acquisitions Odell Beckham Jr., Nelson Agholor, and Boston College first-round draft pick Zay Flowers.
They also hired a new offensive coordinator in Georgia’s Todd Monken, with the intention of executing a more pro-style plan for the first time during Jackson’s tenure with the Ravens.
While with the Ravens, Jackson has managed to pull off what at times resembled a three-option offense under former OC Greg Roman. But they also had nothing close to an elite weapon on the rim to take the pressure off three-time Pro Bowl tight end Mark Andrews.
