I believe in Gus and I believe in Lamar. Come on GRo, trust Lamar too please!

Let's not forget we did pretty good without JK in 2019. Our destiny depends on how well our Oline plays.

This is why I draft after the preseason lolWith JK no longer on my fantasy team, other than Gus who is already owned who's the other Raven likely to be the guy?
I hate FF. Great team to shit.

Plus I recall a lot of people saying it was a wasted pick just over a year ago. Now it appears our season depended on him lol

Ingram was pretty good in the passing game. It needs to be restated he wasn't the same in 2020.
it would help that balance if we’d had any WRs at practice the last 3-4 weeks

Have there been any indications that Lamar got vaccinated? I see what’s going on with Wentz and really want to avoid a repeat of last years fiasco.

He's most likely not going to.

Ugh, hopefully someone in the Qb room is vaccinated otherwise they are all subject to quarantine

Not a perfect science but you can tell who is and isn't based on who is wearing a mask on the sidelines. Some could be by choice, but it's a small handful I've seen so far:
Lamar Jackson
Gus Edwards
Justice Hill
Derek Wolfe
Brandon Williams
Justin Houston (was stated to be in the process of being vaccinated when he signed)
Having viewed the video of Dobbin's injury many times, the conclusion is that the injury was fated. Dobbins had to adjust for the ball and then Bozeman flat missed squashing the cornerback. The cornerback submarined right into the leg Dobbins planted to cut back. Horrific bender. Bozeman whiffed and Dobbins was half a beat slow in making his move allowing that closure. Both defenders were right in on the tackle. That drastically altered the Running Game.
Fate.
Fate.

OK, I don't draw the same conclusion though.
My conclusion is if he's not out there, he doesn't tear his ACL. That's my conclusion.
If you showed me a video where he plants on his ankle, and is untouched, and tears his ACL, then I'd agree its "fate", because that ACL was going to tear with almost any sort of movement, regardless of whether its practice, game, etc. In this case, the hit he took contributed to the awkwardness of his leg and the position it was in when it took the hit, thereby at least assisting with the injury.
My point is I don't think this hit would ever occur in a Ravens practice environment. It's only going to occur in a) preseason games or b) real games.

I don't think you'll have a "fiasco", i.e. a whole bunch of players missing a game. What you could have is select players, like Lamar, missing a game or two if they test positive again.
Also, as a non-vaccinated player, he would go on the close contact COVID list if he's deemed around somebody else who tested positive.
So if Justice Hill tests positive on a Thursday, and Lamar was deemed around him, they'll likely both miss the game.
Honestly for me, the biggest risk of not being vaccinated isn't that they'll actually test positive. It's that they're around people who also aren't vaccinated that could test positive. Lamar could theoretically miss many games this year just being in the close contact protocol, and never test positive himself (even though he already has, twice).
I'm not sure he can this close to having covid.

I think the official CDC "guidance" is you can get vaccinated as soon as you're out of quarantine.
However, if he got certain anti-body treatments as part of his symptom remediation, then they recommend waiting 90 days.
If the latter is the case, he basically won't be considered "vaccinated" for the 2021 season. He'd be looking at mid-November to get the first shot (assuming he hasn't gotten one), which means it would be like January before he would be considered fully vaccinated under CDC guidelines.
I don't know what the NFL policy is for "partially vaccinated" players.

Ravens have cut TE's Tomlinson and Poljan. Leaves them with just three on the active roster (Andrews, Boyle, Oliver).
Will see what happens with Tomlinson. May be brought back tomorrow if they move Boyle to IR. Would think Poljan would be a PS candidate also.
