He even sat out eight of nine practices before the opening of mandatory minicamp last season.<\/p>\n<p>The Ravens are coming off one of their most disappointing seasons in recent years, going just 8-9 with Jackson 6-7 at the starter after he missed four games because of injury. Baltimore missed the playoffs by one game, losing to the rival Steelers 26-24 in their season finale.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson still threw for 2,549 yards with 21 touchdowns and seven interceptions while completing 63.6 percent of his passes.<\/p>\n<p>His apparent buy-in will be a key early for Minter, who is coming over after being the Chargers defensive coordinator the past two seasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lamar Jackson is fully embracing the new era of Ravens football.
