In the quiet rhythms of a voluntary offseason, a franchise quarterback's absence speaks louder than his presence might have. Lamar Jackson, twice named the NFL's most valuable player, was not on the field Tuesday as the Baltimore Ravens began organized team activities under their first new head coach in nearly two decades. New coach Jesse Minter offered calm reassurance rather than alarm, suggesting that some chapters of leadership are written in private — between a coach and his quarterback — and that patience, not panic, is the appropriate response to what remains unexplained.
