On the third play of the first full-team session in Tuesday’s joint practice between the Baltimore Ravens and Indianapolis Colts, quarterback Lamar Jackson rolled right and appeared to be ready to run.
But he stopped and fired an off-balance, cross-body pass to the middle of the field.
Wide receiver Rashod Bateman was there to make about a 15-yard catch.
Standing roughly 5 yards away from where Jackson delivered the ball, Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo had a nice chuckle. Anarumo, the longtime defensive coordinator of the Cincinnati Bengals, has seen that act from Jackson before. The two enjoyed a laugh after the session concluded. Jackson said:
💬 “Coach was telling me that he’s glad he doesn’t have to face me twice a year anymore. But I told him, ‘It’s always going to be competitive.’”
Jackson’s throw to Bateman was one of the highlights from his most extensive and competitive work this summer. He also twice found his favorite target, tight end Mark Andrews, for touchdowns.
