The NFL fined the Baltimore Ravens $100,000 on Friday for violating the league's injury report policy by incorrectly listing quarterback Lamar Jackson's practice participation status last week.

The Ravens released a statement saying they would not appeal the ruling.

'It is critical that the Baltimore Ravens always operate with integrity and in full accordance with NFL guidelines. We clearly made an error regarding player injury reporting and cooperated transparently with the league's investigation,' the statement said. 'We accept the decision by the NFL that we violated the policy and have taken steps to ensure that we will be compliant moving forward.'

The Ravens initially listed Jackson as a full participant in practice last Friday despite the two-time NFL MVP being relegated to taking reps with the practice squad as he dealt with a hamstring injury.

The following day, Jackson was ruled out of the Ravens' game against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, with the team retroactively downgrading his practice status to limited.

'Lamar Jackson was present for and participated fully in our entire Friday practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears,' the Ravens said in a statement last Saturday. 'Upon further evaluation today and after conferring with the league office, because Lamar didn't take starter reps in practice, we updated our report to reflect his practice participation.'

Per ESPN, the NFL believed the Ravens' listing of Jackson as a full participant was a result of negligence, not an attempt to gain a competitive advantage.

Jackson, 28, returned from a three-game absence on Thursday night and threw four touchdown passes to lead the Ravens (3-5) to a 28-6 win at Miami.
