Team news: Baltimore Ravens | Page 2

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said last week that he expects quarterback Lamar Jackson to return to action after the team’s Week 7 bye, but he wasn’t on the field for the team’s first practice since returning to work.

Multiple reporters at Monday’s practice shared that Jackson remains off the field, the story said. It went on to say the Ravens did get some players back on the field - linebacker Roquan Smith and cornerback Chidobe Awuzie were both practicing after missing time with hamstring injuries, so that makes the fact that Jackson wasn't among those players something to pay attention to.

Once again, no Lamar Jackson at today’s practice, putting Cooper Rush in line to start Sunday vs. the Rams.

Looks like another Cooper Rush week, which is not great news for the Ravens offense. It looks like Ronnie Stanley is set to return but anyone outside of Zay Flowers and/or Derrick Henry in your starting lineup would be a tough sell with Jackson out.

Ravens game status report Sun. against Texans:
QB Lamar Jackson (hamstring), FB Patrick Ricard (calf) MLB Roquan Smith (hamstring), CB Marlon Humphrey (calf) and CB Chidobe Awuzie (hamstring) are all OUT.

QB Cooper Rush will start. Tyler Huntley will be elevated from PS as No.2.

Outside of Derrick Henry and Zay Flowers, we should be avoiding the Ravens with Jackson sidelined.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson did not practice for a second straight day with a hamstring injury.

Safety Kyle Hamilton (groin) also didn’t practice Thursday after being limited yesterday.

All signs are pointing toward a Cooper Rush start versus the Texans defense, and that's not something we'd want to attack in fantasy. Outside of Derrick Henry and Zay Flowers, we should be avoiding the Ravens with Jackson sidelined.

QB Lamar Jackson (hamstring) is among eight Ravens not practicing.

It's looking like Jackson's hamstring is going to keep him out of Week 5, which means Cooper Rush will likely get the start. Against the Texans defense, consider him a fade.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson will undergo further evaluation Monday on his injured hamstring.

Jackson suffered the injury during the third quarter of Baltimore’s 37-20 loss to the Chiefs, a loss that puts the Ravens in an early 1-3 hole. The Ravens are already dealing with a litany of injuries. Monday will tell us how sever the strain is and if Jackson will miss any time. The Ravens next week face another team off to a disappointing 1-3 start, the Houston Texans — the Texans did get their first win of the season in Week 4 over the Titans.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is questionable to return to Sunday’s game against the Chiefs with a hamstring injury.

The injuries have been piling up for the Ravens in what has been a rough day at Arrowhead. The Ravens now have Cooper Rush in the game after Jackson’s third-quarter injury. Barring a big comeback, the Ravens are looking at a 1-3 start. We’ll update this injury story.

Ravens injury report (Thurs)
LIMITED: TE Isaiah Likely (foot), NT Travis Jones (knee)
DNP: FB Patrick Ricard (calf), LT Ronnie Stanley (ankle), OLB Kyle Van Noy (hamstring), DT Nnamdi Madubuike (hamstring), DT Broderick Washington (ankle)

Zrebiec followed up this tweet with, "Ravens have spoken optimistically about Likely returning Sunday, but he's still yet to practice fully."

Likely would have been, well, a likely addition off the waiver wire had Andrews not just pulled out a classic 6-91-2 stat line after accruing seven yards through the first two weeks of the season. As it stands, Likely can probably to the TE vultures until we see more evidence that his teammate is ready to stop performing these huge "boom" weeks. Likely produced 21% of his 2024 fantasy points in Week 1 of last year and was mostly forgettable after that.

Bears first-round pick Colston Loveland had to leave Sunday’s win over the Cowboys after hurting his hip, but it doesn’t look like he’s going to miss extended time.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Bears believe Loveland avoided a severe injury. The tight end could play in this week’s game against the Raiders in Las Vegas.

Loveland had one catch for 31 yards before he left the game. He has three catches for 43 yards so far this season, the story pointed out. Loveland was supposed to be one of the top rookie TEs this season, but has yet to make his mark at least in terms of fantasy production. It's at positive news he could be good to go for Week 4, but be sure to watch the team's injury report this week.
