In a shocking development, Baltimore Ravens’ star quarterback Lamar Jackson has been suspended indefinitely from all sports-related activities after testing positive for a banned substance, according to sources close to the NFL.
The league confirmed early Monday morning that Jackson failed a routine drug test conducted last week. Specific details of the banned substance have not yet been disclosed, but league officials have stated that the violation falls under the NFL’s substance abuse policy.
The Ravens organization released a brief statement:
“We are aware of the situation involving Lamar Jackson and are fully cooperating with the league as they continue their investigation. At this time, we will have no further comment.”
Jackson, a former NFL MVP and a central figure in the Ravens’ playoff hopes, has not publicly responded to the news. This indefinite suspension raises serious questions about the team’s prospects for the remainder of the season and could have long-term implications for his career.
More details will follow as the story develops.
