Baltimore Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson joined the team on Monday for the first time this offseason amid the uncertainty surrounding his contract situation. Jackson had missed the team's voluntary workouts and OTAs, with many believing it to be a sign of his frustration with the team. However, the star signal-caller is at the facility now- and he wasted no time in impressing the Ravens. Tuesday marked his first practice session of the 2022 offseason. Jackson impressed – and was the subject of trolling.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that Jackson looked to be in good shape and was crisp in his delivery of the ball, prompting the veteran head coach to say that “you can see he's been throwing a lot.” Jackson may not have been at the facility, though he's seemingly no worse for the wear, a sentiment echoed by tight end Mark Andrews.

Andrews, undoubtedly excited to have his quarterback back, said it was “awesome” to see Jackson. He then mirrored Harbaugh, noting how well the Ravens star threw the ball on Tuesday. But Jackson's return wasn't without some good-natured trolling.

Ravens teammate Marlon Humphrey couldn't help but have a little fun at Jackson's expense. Humphrey made sure the trainer knew that Jackson had access to plenty of water because he “needed it a little bit.” Maybe the Ravens star quarterback isn't in as good of shape as Harbaugh indicated!

In all seriousness, the Ravens were clearly excited- and energized- by Jackson's return. It promises to be a fun year in Baltimore.
