Ravens Rule Out Lamar Jackson for Week 5, Cooper Rush to Start vs. Texans

Baltimore hosts Houston shorthanded with six more Pro Bowlers inactive.

Overview

  • Jackson was listed inactive after logging DNP on all three practice reports with a hamstring injury.
  • Veteran Cooper Rush makes his first Ravens start after the staff built the week’s plan around him, and he went 9-5 as a starter in Dallas.
  • Insiders indicate Jackson is unlikely for Week 6 and could miss two to three weeks, with the Week 7 bye offering a buffer that may limit him to two missed games.
  • Baltimore also ruled out Roquan Smith, Kyle Hamilton, Marlon Humphrey, Chidobe Awuzie, Ronnie Stanley and Patrick Ricard, pushing rookies and reserves into key roles.
  • The Texans listed only healthy scratches, including linebacker Christian Harris, as the 1-3 Ravens look to stabilize a battered lineup.
