ORCHARD PARK, NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 07: Derrick Henry #22 of the Baltimore Ravens looks on prior to a game against the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium on September 07, 2025 in Orchard Park, New York.

Overview

  • Jackson was a non-participant for a second straight day with a hamstring injury, leaving his Week 5 availability in serious doubt.
  • Reports from Josina Anderson and The Baltimore Sun say he is not expected to face Houston and could miss roughly 2–3 weeks, with the Week 7 bye offering a recovery window.
  • Safety Kyle Hamilton missed Thursday’s session with a groin issue as Baltimore’s lengthy injury list persisted, and defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike remains out for the season on injured reserve.
  • If Jackson sits, the Ravens plan to start Cooper Rush and elevate Tyler Huntley, while Ronnie Stanley, Nate Wiggins and Tyler Linderbaum returned to practice on a limited basis.
  • Analysts criticized Baltimore for ranking 32nd in early-down handoffs to running backs despite strong efficiency, and coaches acknowledged the need to call the run more with Derrick Henry.
