Lamar Jackson Missing Third Straight Practice, Unlikely to Play in Week 5
Lamar Jackson (hamstring) is missing his third straight practice this week on Friday, and it's looking more likely that he'll miss his first game due to injury since 2023 in the Week 5 tilt against the Houston Texans, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN. In all likelihood, Jackson will officially be ruled out shortly, which means backup Cooper Rush will make his first start of the year for the struggling 1-3 Ravens. While Rush has a strong ground game to help him out and plenty of weapons in the passing game, he'll be facing a respectable Houston defense and will most likely have trouble sustaining drives. Jackson's absence will hurt all of the Ravens' offensive players' fantasy ceilings going forward. A report surfaced on Thursday night that Jackson could also miss Week 6, which means he might not return until Week 8 (the Ravens have a bye in Week 7).
