Ravens slammed with concerning Lamar Jackson report at training camp

With Jesse Minter taking the reins from John Harbaugh, hype is at an all-time high for the new-look Baltimore Ravens.

He's expected to fix the Ravens' ailing defense while keeping their explosive offense ticking.

However, it looks like that hasn't been the case early on in training camp, with Lamar Jackson struggling to make plays with his arm. 

According to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, Minter's passing game still has plenty of catching up to do. 

Ravens' passing game has struggled in training camp 

“There was plenty of buildup for the Ravens’ first padded practice of training camp, yet there weren’t many notable highlights from it. That’s partly because the Ravens’ passing game never found a rhythm," wrote Zrebiec.

According to Zrebiec, it wasn't just Jackson who struggled. As a whole, the passing game has looked sluggish:

"Both Lamar Jackson and his primary backup, Tyler Huntley, struggled to create any chunk plays. Most of the Ravens’ completions came either on screens or short passes," Zrebiec added. "The Ravens running backs Rasheen Ali and Adam Randall did pop a few long runs, but there were few big plays in the passing game.”

The Ravens lost offensive coordinator Todd Monken to the Cleveland Browns' head-coaching job.

They replaced him with a young rising star in the coaching ranks, Declan Doyle, so some growing pains were expected.

That said, it seems that they're still far behind in terms of where they were supposed to be at this point in training camp.

They still have a bit over a month before their season opener vs. the Indianapolis Colts on Sept. 13. 

And with Jackson's contract extension drama also looming large, this will be a situation to keep a close eye on as the Ravens continue to prepare for a make-or-break season.
