Ravens Rule Out Lamar Jackson for Week 8 as Tyler Huntley Starts vs. Bears

A retroactive change to Jackson’s Friday practice status has prompted an NFL review of Baltimore’s injury reporting.

Overview

  • Baltimore announced Jackson will miss a third straight game with a hamstring injury and named Tyler Huntley the starter after signing him from the practice squad.
  • The team revised Jackson’s Friday listing from full to limited participation after conferring with the league, while multiple reports said he took scout‑team reps that day.
  • An NFL spokesperson said the league will look into the Ravens’ change to the practice/injury report for compliance with reporting policy.
  • Cooper Rush was benched after two ineffective starts that included four interceptions, and the 1-5 Ravens enter Week 8 on a four-game skid with a poor record without Jackson.
  • Reporting from national outlets indicates Jackson is expected to return in Week 9 at Miami on Thursday night, though the team has not formally confirmed his availability.
