Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Ruled out for Sunday

Share Video
Jackson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.
After being forced out of this past Sunday's 37-20 loss to Kansas City, Jackson was unable to practice in any fashion this week. Now that he's officially been deemed out for Sunday's contest, Cooper Rush is slated to start in his place. Jackson's next chance to play will arrive Week 6 against the Rams on Oct. 12, though Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun previously reported Tuesday that Baltimore is bracing for a 2-to-3-week absence from the two-time league MVP. The Ravens have a bye coming up Week 7, so it may be a prudent approach for the team to hold Jackson out for the next two games to ensure he makes a full recovery from the hamstring injury and is ready to go for the second half of the season.
