First of all, there's nothing wrong with a player missing a game or practice for the birth of a child. New England running back James White missed last week's game against the New York Jets for that reason, and it's a relatively common occurrence throughout the league. At issue here is how long Ramsey stays away -- or if he even returns at all. Ramsey missed the first week of training camp in 2018 for the birth of his first child, so that's a pretty good place to start in terms of expected length of absence...

Lamar Jackson reaching historic heights (just don't bring it up)
Just don't ask anyone in the Ravens organization about it. Like not talking about a no-hitter during a no-hitter, they don't want to invite bad luck. Jackson's string of avoiding an interception in 221 straight regular-season pass attempts is the longest current streak in the NFL and the best in the Ravens' 24-year history. It also has given him a unique distinction. Jackson has the lowest interception rate in league history (1.1 percent) among quarterbacks with at least 250 attempts. What...
