The Baltimore Ravens are no exception.
They are 1-3 on the season and won’t be able to field their best player this Sunday.
Lamar Jackson is still dealing with an lingering soft tissue injury. Cooper Rush will now be the one to take over.
Adam Schefter has pointed out that this is a problem for John Harbaugh and his team.

Rush is a backup with experience who has been there and done it. He would be an upgrade to most backups.
Nevertheless, Houston Texans defense has been utterly dominating this season.
Although they have had some luck with the teams that they have faced, it is still a shame.
On the plus side, they have a stellar defense, but their offense is stagnant. This is why they are also 1-3.
Harbaugh is said to keep visitors guessing this Sunday.
The veteran backup Tyler ‘Snoop’ Huntley will also be on the field to take advantage of his mobility.
While he is clearly not Lamar Jackson’s equal, this type of dual threat expertise should keep the Texans defense guessing.
All things considered, both teams are pretty desperate to win in Week 5.
The Ravens’ 3-3 record is much more disappointing because they were expected to be a Super Bowl caliber team in this season.
Will Rush be able win the game and continue to have an impressive record as a starting player? We’ll wait and see. But the odds are not in his favor at this time.
