Overview
- Jackson left Sunday’s loss in Kansas City with a hamstring injury and did not practice Wednesday as Baltimore prepares to host Houston.
- The initial report listed several starters as either did not practice or limited, including Marlon Humphrey, Nate Wiggins, Chidobe Awuzie, Ronnie Stanley, Patrick Ricard, Kyle Hamilton, Tyler Linderbaum and Travis Jones.
- Reporters said Humphrey has been ruled out and indicated Roquan Smith is doubtful, with final game statuses still pending later in the week.
- If Jackson is unavailable, reporters note Cooper Rush would be in line to start, with Tyler Huntley also available as an experienced backup.
- Baltimore is 1–3 and has allowed 133 points through four games, intensifying concern for a defense already down Nnamdi Madubuike for the season.
