Lamar Jackson Era

Lamar officially will miss a second consecutive game with his hamstring injury. The Ravens ruled him out on Friday. The Ravens are 4-11 without Jackson since he became their starting quarterback. Cooper Rush, whom the team signed in the offseason, will make his second start for the Ravens. The Ravens have their off week next week, so Jackson could be in line to return in Week 8 against the Bears. The Ravens also ruled out linebacker Roquan Smith (hamstring), fullback Pat Ricard (calf), offensive tackle Emery Jones (shoulder), cornerback Chidobe Awuzie (hamstring) and wide receiver Devontez Walker (oblique). Wide receiver Zay Flowers (shoulder) is questionable.

Lamar Jackson left Sunday's blowout 37-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs late in the third quarter due to a hamstring injury. Jackson did not take the field for the start of the Ravens' drive just before the end of the quarter at Arrowhead Stadium, though it wasn't immediately clear what had happened. Instead, backup Cooper Rush went out in his place. continue reading...

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson ’s hamstring injury could keep him off the field for multiple games. Jackson is likely to miss Sunday’s game against the Texans and could miss two or three weeks , according to the Baltimore Sun . Cooper Rush stepped in for Jackson to finish Sunday’s game against the Chiefs, and Rush will start on Sunday if Jackson can’t go. Rush and Jackson are the only quarterbacks on the Ravens’ active roster, but longtime backup Tyler Huntley is on the practice squad and will likely be added to the active roster in Jackson’s absence. Jackson is off to a tremendous start this season. He’s leading the NFL with 10 touchdown passes, an average of 9.1 yards per pass, and a 130.5 passer rating. Any time he can’t play will be rough for the Ravens to get through, given that their defense is struggling mightily this year. Rush has started 14 games in his NFL career, all for the Cowboys, who were 9-5 in the games he started.
