Overview
- Jackson was a non-participant for a second straight day with a right hamstring injury, according to the team’s Thursday report.
- Multiple outlets, including the Baltimore Sun and Josina Anderson, report Jackson is unlikely to play Sunday and could be sidelined through Week 6 before the Week 7 bye.
- Cooper Rush took first-team reps and is expected to start if Jackson sits, with Tyler Huntley set to be elevated to back him up.
- Baltimore’s injury list also includes Kyle Hamilton, Roquan Smith, Marlon Humphrey, Chidobe Awuzie and Patrick Ricard, though Ronnie Stanley, Nate Wiggins, Tyler Linderbaum and Devontez Walker returned to practice.
- Scrutiny of the offense intensified as Dan Orlovsky highlighted the Ravens ranking last in giving the ball to running backs on early downs despite strong efficiency, with Derrick Henry limited to 49 carries and three fumbles through four games.
