Overview
- Lamar Jackson left the Week 4 loss with a right hamstring injury and, per John Harbaugh, was unable to return; his availability for Sunday against Houston is in doubt as testing continues.
- Harbaugh confirmed Pro Bowl defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike will miss the rest of the 2025 season due to a neck injury after landing on injured reserve last week.
- NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported All-Pro linebacker Roquan Smith has a Grade 2 hamstring strain and is expected to miss a few weeks, with cornerback Marlon Humphrey also expected to be out a couple of weeks.
- Left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) and cornerback Nate Wiggins (elbow) are under evaluation, and Cooper Rush would be in line to start if Jackson cannot play.
- Baltimore fell to 1-3 and owns the NFL’s worst scoring defense through four games, heightening the stakes for Sunday’s home game against the 1-3 Texans ahead of a Week 7 bye.
