Overview

  • Harbaugh has announced Rush will see significantly more snaps in the Ravens’ second preseason game at AT&T Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 16, with Lamar Jackson resting.
  • Rush, who departed Dallas in free agency on a two-year, $6.2 million deal, is now Baltimore’s primary backup ahead of third-stringer Devin Leary.
  • After completing 2 of 4 passes for 16 yards with an interception and sack in the opener, Rush enters Saturday’s game on the strength of his reputation as a reliable fill-in.
  • Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer will use the reunion to assess Joe Milton III’s progress, with Pro Bowl linebacker Micah Parsons sidelined in a contract holdout.
  • The game kicks off at 6 p.m. CDT, airing on CBS 11 in Dallas, WBAL in Baltimore and streaming nationally on NFL+.
