Lamar Jackson has exited the Baltimore Ravens’ Week 4 game against the Kansas City Chiefs due to a hamstring injury.
Jackson’s last play occurred at the 8:10 mark of the third quarter, when he was sacked for a 2-yard loss. Backup quarterback Cooper Rush took the field with 56 seconds left in the third quarter and the Ravens trailing 30-13.
Jackson had completed 14 of 20 passes for 147 yards, one touchdown and one interception at the time of his departure. He also ran for 48 yards on six carries.
Lamar Jackson injury update
Ravens coach John Harbaugh did not provide a concrete update on Jackson following the Ravens’ 37-20 loss to the Chiefs. He simply addressed his quarterback’s hamstring injury in a bulk update about Baltimore’s injuries from Sunday’s game.
‘I don’t have any updates on the seriousness of the injuries right now,’ Harbaugh told reporters. ‘There’s nothing that looks like its season-ending by any stretch for any of those guys, but we’ll have to look at those injuries tomorrow and see where we’re at.’
The Ravens announced Jackson was ‘questionable’ to return because of a hamstring injury. Baltimore did not officially rule Jackson out for the remainder of the game, but he did not return to action.
Jackson was seen standing on the sidelines after exiting the game.
CBS reported that Jackson was tended to by training staff and had a wrap around one of his legs. He was not seen with trainers when CBS returned from their commercial break.
