Lamar Jackson Misses Practice With Hamstring as Week 5 Status Remains Uncertain

Texans coach DeMeco Ryans says Houston will prepare for Jackson regardless of the injury report.

Overview

  • Baltimore listed Jackson as a non-participant Wednesday and reported a lengthy list of injuries, with Marlon Humphrey, Nate Wiggins, Chidobe Awuzie, Roquan Smith and Ronnie Stanley among those who did not practice or were limited.
  • Coach John Harbaugh labeled player statuses day to day, declined to detail Jackson’s availability, and noted the quarterback is working and participating in meetings.
  • If Jackson is ruled out, Cooper Rush is the expected starter; Harbaugh said he is up to speed, and Rush went 9-of-13 for 52 yards after replacing Jackson in Kansas City.
  • The Ravens signed Rush in April for veteran depth, and Harbaugh indicated Tyler Huntley would be elevated from the practice squad if Jackson cannot play.
  • Media reports have estimated a possible two-to-three-week absence for Jackson, but the team has not confirmed any timetable.
