Harbaugh Banks on Lamar Jackson Return as 1-5 Ravens Enter Bye and Reassess

He said he expects the quarterback back after the bye without guaranteeing a Week 8 start.

Overview

  • After a 17-3 loss to the Rams that dropped Baltimore to 1-5, Cooper Rush was benched in the fourth quarter for Tyler Huntley as turnovers and penalties stalled the offense.
  • John Harbaugh expressed belief the Ravens can still make a playoff push, ruled out coaching-staff shakeups during the bye, and noted a softer remaining schedule.
  • Harbaugh said Jackson is expected back from a hamstring injury after the bye but stopped short of a firm Week 8 commitment.
  • Pass-rush depth thinned further as Baltimore traded Odafe Oweh for safety Alohi Gilman and lost OLB Tavius Robinson to a broken foot, with Harbaugh saying they may need to manufacture pressure.
  • Speculation around deadline moves is growing, including an outside proposal sending Derrick Henry to the Patriots, which remains a rumor rather than an active deal.
