Lamar Jackson Ruled Out for Sunday’s Game

In a significant development for the Baltimore Ravens, Lamar Jackson has been ruled out for their upcoming game against the Houston Texans. This decision was made on Friday due to a hamstring injury that prevented him from participating in practice throughout the week.

Lamar Jackson’s Injury Details

Jackson sustained the hamstring injury during last Sunday’s match against the Kansas City Chiefs. Reports indicate he may be sidelined for multiple games as he recovers.

Cooper Rush to Start

Cooper Rush will take the helm as starting quarterback for the Ravens. This marks his first start with the team, following 14 starts over four seasons with the Dallas Cowboys. Tyler Huntley has been elevated from the practice squad to support Rush as the backup.

Additional Injury Concerns

Jackson is not the only player facing setbacks. The Ravens’ final injury report lists several key players as inactive:

  • Chidobe Awuzie (cornerback) – hamstring injury
  • Marlon Humphrey (cornerback) – calf injury
  • Patrick Ricard (fullback) – calf injury
  • Roquan Smith (linebacker) – hamstring injury

Questionable Players for the Ravens

In addition to the players ruled out, the team has several players listed as questionable:

  • Kyle Hamilton (safety) – groin injury
  • Odafe Oweh (edge rusher) – eye injury
  • Ronnie Stanley (left tackle) – ankle injury
  • Devontez Walker (wide receiver) – oblique injury

Kyle Hamilton has missed the last two days of practice, while Odafe Oweh was also unable to practice on Friday. Furthermore, tackle Emery Jones will not be activated this week due to a shoulder injury.
