Lamar Jackson did not practice on Friday. This is another sign that he may miss the game against Houston Texans this Sunday.

Jackson has not practiced since sustaining a hamstring injure in Sunday’s loss to Kansas City. Cooper Rush will start in Jackson’s place if he is not available.

Jackson would miss his first game since 2022 when he suffered from a sprained MCL in the knee. Jackson missed all five Ravens regular season games and the Ravens playoff loss to Cincinnati.

Rush is a capable offensive coordinator and the Ravens are confident in his ability to run the offense. Losing Jackson hurts. Rush has a 9-5 record as a starter in his career, and the Ravens have signed him for this exact scenario.

Todd Monken, Offensive coordinator, said: “Obviously, as athletic and fit as ‘Coop,’ some things will not look the same as Lamar.” “But it doesn’t mean that you can’t be efficient and effective.”
