Overview

• The Baltimore Sun reports Jackson is unlikely to face the Texans and could be sidelined roughly two to three weeks with a right hamstring strain.
• Coach John Harbaugh said there was no way Jackson could have re-entered the loss at Kansas City, underscoring the injury’s legitimacy.
• Veteran backup Cooper Rush, a pocket passer who relieved Jackson and went 9-of-13 for 52 yards, is the presumptive starter as playcalling adjusts away from quarterback run concepts.
• Baltimore’s defense has been hit hard, with Nnamdi Madubuike out for the season and key starters like Roquan Smith and Marlon Humphrey facing multi-week timelines, contributing to poor early defensive rankings.
• At 1-3, the Ravens enter a home stretch against the Texans and Rams before a Week 7 bye, a narrow window to stabilize until Jackson returns.
