Roquan Smith #0 of the Baltimore Ravens gives a speech in the team huddle prior to an NFL football game against the Kansas City Chiefs at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on September 5, 2024 in Kansas City, Missouri.

Overview

  • Coach John Harbaugh confirmed Nnamdi Madubuike will miss the rest of 2025 with a neck injury after his recent placement on injured reserve.
  • Harbaugh said Lamar Jackson’s right hamstring injury prevented any return against the Chiefs, and he declined to say if the quarterback will practice or play this week.
  • If Jackson cannot go against the Texans, backup Cooper Rush is the expected starter based on team comments about preparing contingency plans.
  • Ian Rapoport reported Roquan Smith has a Grade 2 hamstring strain and Marlon Humphrey is expected to miss a couple of weeks, while Broderick Washington Jr. is headed to injured reserve and Ronnie Stanley and Nate Wiggins were also hurt.
  • At 1-3, Baltimore owns the NFL’s worst scoring defense at 33.3 points allowed per game, with further updates on injuries expected later in the week before hosting Houston.
