Within the Baltimore Ravens, uncertainty surrounds the possible participation of Lamar Jackson in Sunday’s crucial match against the Houston Texans. The team remains tight-lipped regarding the physical condition of their quarterback, who suffered a hamstring injury during the 37-20 defeat against Kansas City. During Wednesday’s practice, Jackson did not participate due to this injury. Coach John Harbaugh, when questioned about Jackson’s availability for Sunday’s game, chose not to reveal details, indicating that the situation of multiple injuries is being evaluated day by day. Harbaugh noted that he spoke extensively with Jackson on Tuesday and that the player has been present at all meetings. “Lamar is working. He’s doing a great job,” the coach stated. Since the end of the 2022 season, Jackson, a two-time NFL Most Valuable Player, has not been absent due to injury. In Jackson’s absence since 2018, Baltimore has a 4-10 record. In the event that Jackson is unable to play on Sunday, the Ravens could turn to Cooper Rush, former backup for the Dallas Cowboys, who joined the team this season.
In addition to Jackson, seven more players were absent from Wednesday’s practice due to injuries, including key starters like Ronnie Stanley (ankle), Roquan Smith (hamstring), Nate Wiggins (elbow), Marlon Humphrey (calf), and Patrick Ricard (calf).He’s a professional’s professional. He really immersed himself in this offense and understands it very well. He’ll know what to do, and I know he’s excited for the opportunity to show what he’s all about.

The Ravens, with a 1-3 season start, their worst performance in a decade, face the Texans at home with a 1.5-point disadvantage, amid uncertainty about Jackson’s participation.Everyone here in this organization is a fighter. We’ve been through adversity. We know what that’s like and there is no surrender in this group. I’m excited to show the world that.
