Ravens' Lamar Jackson Likely Misses Weeks Due Hamstring Injury

Lamar Jackson has missed consecutive practices due to a hamstring injury, casting doubt on his availability for the Baltimore Ravens' upcoming game against the Houston Texans. Reports suggest Jackson could be sidelined for two to three weeks, exacerbating the Ravens' already concerning injury situation that includes key players like safety Kyle Hamilton and several others not practicing. If Jackson cannot play, Cooper Rush, who finished the previous game after Jackson's injury, is expected to start, with Tyler Huntley as the backup option. The Ravens are currently 1-3 and facing a must-win scenario, making Jackson's potential absence particularly damaging given his leading performance in touchdown passes this season. The team and media await further updates following Friday's injury report and comments from head coach John Harbaugh. Experts have noted the importance of players being fully healthy before returning to avoid further injury, highlighting the challenges the Ravens face in managing their quarterback situation.
