Overview
- The Ravens fell 17-3 to the Rams in Week 6 at home, dropping to 1-5 as Cooper Rush was replaced in the fourth quarter by Tyler Huntley after another interception-filled outing.
- John Harbaugh said he is “leaning really hard” on Jackson returning after the bye for the Bears game, though he stopped short of a firm guarantee.
- Without Jackson, Baltimore has totaled 13 points in two games, turned the ball over 10 times on the season, and slipped to 28th in goal‑to‑go touchdown rate after multiple short-yardage failures.
- The pass rush is thinner after trading Odafe Oweh to the Chargers for safety Alohi Gilman and losing Tavius Robinson to a broken foot for 6–8 weeks, prompting Harbaugh to say pressure will need to be manufactured.
- Harbaugh signaled no coaching staff shakeup during the bye and maintained belief in a playoff push despite long historical odds, while outside speculation has linked Derrick Henry to trade chatter ahead of the Nov. 4 deadline.
