- Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is out this week.
- Jackson suffered a hamstring injury in Week 4 against the Chiefs.
- Cooper Rush will get the start against the Texans.
The Baltimore Ravens are hoping to snap their two-game losing streak at home in Week 5 against the Houston Texans.
They’ll have to do so without their two-time MVP quarterback.
The Ravens confirmed Lamar Jackson will not play in Week 5 against Houston due to a hamstring injury suffered against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4. Jackson did not practice at all this week and is one of multiple starters who will be out of action on Sunday.
Jackson exited Week 4 against the Chiefs at the 8:10 mark of the third quarter. Veteran backup Cooper Rush entered the game for him and finished the final 23 minutes of game time out under center for Baltimore. He completed 9 of 13 passes for 52 yards against Kansas City.
Thanks to its dominant performance in Week 4, Houston ranks No. 1 in the NFL in fewest points allowed and sixth in passing defense. Rush and the Ravens passing game could have a tough task ahead of them with Jackson out.
