Overview

• The team ruled out Lamar Jackson with a hamstring injury along with Roquan Smith, Marlon Humphrey, Patrick Ricard and Chidobe Awuzie for Sunday.
• John Harbaugh named Cooper Rush the starter and set Tyler Huntley as the backup for the Texans game.
• Rush joined on a two-year deal in March and carries a 9-5 career mark as a starter after extensive relief duty with Dallas.
• The Ravens rank 31st in yards allowed and last in points allowed, a slide that has produced rare home-underdog status and heightens the need to protect the ball and lean on the run.
• Pro Bowlers Ronnie Stanley and Kyle Hamilton are questionable, and Jackson has stayed engaged with the team by helping Rush prepare.
