Quarterback Lamar Jackson and the Ravens took another step toward putting on the pads Tuesday with the first practice of their two-day mandatory minicamp.
Returning to the field for the first time since Week 1 of organized team activities, Jackson looked crisp from the jump. He connected with tight end Mark Andrews on several throws over the middle and further established chemistry with new wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.
For Jackson, going to work is better than having time off.
"You want to know the best thing I did \[during the offseason\]? I came here today," Jackson said. "I was out here training with my guys, working hard. I felt like we got better today."
Here are other notes from Tuesday's practice:
