Overview

• Baltimore’s official injury report rules out Jackson and four other starters, including Roquan Smith, Marlon Humphrey, Chidobe Awuzie and Patrick Ricard.
• Kyle Hamilton, Odafe Oweh and Ronnie Stanley are listed as questionable, while Tyler Huntley is expected to serve as QB2 behind Rush.
• Reporters indicate Jackson’s hamstring could sideline him through next week’s Rams game before a Week 7 bye, though that timeline is not confirmed.
• Oddsmakers have listed Baltimore as a slight home underdog to Houston, reflecting uncertainty at quarterback and a reshuffled lineup.
• A struggling defense has allowed about 407 yards and 33 points per game, fueling local talk of a must-win scenario and heightening scrutiny of a 1-3 team.
