Lamar Jackson spotted ‘spiking helmet to the ground’ at Ravens’ training camp
Training intensity can be crazy, Lamar Jackson showed his frustration during Baltimore Ravens training camp on Thursday, spiking his helmet after a two-minute drill ended without a final play.
The moment came during a long and intense practice session, with the Ravens continuing to adjust to a new offensive setup ahead of the new NFL season.
It followed a mixed start to camp for the offence, with inconsistency and timing still developing across multiple sessions.
Lamar Jackson’s reaction highlights early issues in Ravens offence
According to The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec, the play broke down at the worst possible time.
Jackson found tight end Durham Smythe down the seam, but he was brought down just short of the end zone with only seconds remaining. The offence rushed to the line, but the clock hit zero before they could snap the ball, prompting Jackson to spike his helmet in frustration.
It was a small moment, but one that summed up where Baltimore currently stand.
The Ravens are working under a new coaching staff, with players still learning the system and building chemistry on the field.
There have already been signs of that adjustment period.
Mark Andrews has dealt with drops in recent sessions, while new combinations across the offence are still finding rhythm.
At the same time, training camp is designed for exactly these situations to test players at their maximum capacity.
Mistakes are expected, especially during high-pressure drills like two-minute scenarios where execution needs to be perfect.
Jackson’s reaction, though, stood out.
It showed the standards he is setting early in camp and the urgency within the group to get things right before the season begins.
The Ravens still have time to sharpen those details.
Jackson played in 13 games during the 2025 NFL regular season, recording 2,549 passing yards, 21 passing touchdowns, and 7 interceptions with a 62.7 QBR.
But with their opener against the Indianapolis Colts approaching next month, moments like this underline how much work is still to be done.
