Lamar Jackson's Injury Could Keep Him Out for Multiple Games as Ravens Face Mounting Absences
Baltimore Ravens' star quarterback Lamar Jackson is set to miss Week 5 and potentially more crazy games due to a hamstring injury sustained against the Kansas City Chiefs. His absence could extend beyond two to three games. Meanwhile, several other key players were absent from practice, raising concerns about the team's availability for the upcoming match against the Houston Texans.
Jackson's injury occurred in the fourth quarter of last Sunday's game but the exact play remains unclear, according to coach John Harbaugh. The quarterback was not present during the media-accessible portion of Wednesday's practice, indicating his status for Week 5 is uncertain. In his stead, Cooper Rush is expected to start against the Texans.
The Ravens' defense also faces personnel issues. Middle linebacker Roquan Smith and cornerbacks Marlon Humphrey, Nate Wiggins, and Chidobe Awuzie were all absent from practice. Humphrey and Smith could each miss 2-to-3 weeks, further weakening the epic defense. Left tackle Ronnie Stanley and fullback Patrick Ricard were also notable absences, adding to the team's list of injured players.
The Ravens' injury report is extensive heading into Week 5. Lamar Jackson's absence, potentially spanning multiple games, is a significant blow to the offense. The defense, already depleted, faces further challenges with the potential absences of key players. Cooper Rush will have the task of leading the offense against the Texans, with the Ravens' depth and resilience set to be tested.
