Lamar to miss 2nd straight game with hamstring injury

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams due to a hamstring injury.

This will be the second consecutive contest Jackson will miss after sitting out last week's blowout loss to the Houston Texans. The two-time MVP hasn't practiced since suffering the injury in Week 4.

Cooper Rush, who got his first start as a Raven versus the Texans, is in line to lead the offense again this weekend. The veteran backup is coming off a three-interception performance in which the team scored just 10 points.

The Ravens will get some reinforcements in the contest, as Kyle Hamilton, Marlon Humphrey, and Ronnie Stanley are slated to return from one-game absences.

Meanwhile, Roquan Smith will remain out, and wide receiver Zay Flowers is listed as questionable with a shoulder injury.

Baltimore is off to a 1-4 start for only the second time in franchise history. The club has failed to win a game without Jackson as its starting quarterback since December 2022.
