Overview
- Jackson did not practice this week and will miss a second straight game after straining his hamstring in the Week 4 loss at Kansas City.
- Cooper Rush gets a second start after a 44-10 defeat to Houston in which he went 14-of-20 for 179 yards with three interceptions, with Tyler Huntley backing up.
- Baltimore is on a three-game skid, has averaged 15 points over its past two games, and has lost five straight when Jackson has been out.
- Roster moves are mixed: Roquan Smith, Patrick Ricard, Chidobe Awuzie, Devontez Walker and Emery Jones Jr. are ruled out, while Kyle Hamilton, Ronnie Stanley and Marlon Humphrey were not given injury designations after returning to practice.
- The Week 7 bye provides a potential recovery window, with Jackson’s availability for the Oct. 26 home game against the Bears still to be determined.
