Overview
- Official injury reports showed Jackson (hamstring) absent for a second day Thursday, with safety Kyle Hamilton also missing practice because of a groin issue.
- Multiple outlets, including the Baltimore Sun, report Jackson is likely out Sunday and could miss up to 2–3 weeks, with the Week 7 bye offering a recovery buffer.
- Cooper Rush took first-team reps and is expected to start if Jackson is unavailable, and John Harbaugh plans to elevate Tyler Huntley for depth.
- Baltimore’s defense remains depleted: Roquan Smith, Marlon Humphrey and Patrick Ricard did not practice, DT Nnamdi Madubuike is out for the season, and Ronnie Stanley and Nate Wiggins returned on a limited basis.
- The 1-3 Ravens have fared poorly without Jackson (4-10 in his absences per ESPN Insights), while Houston trended healthier with Will Anderson Jr. and Derek Stingley Jr. back at practice.
