The Baltimore Ravens are likely to be without various starters in Week 5 against the Houston Texans, and one of those is expected to be quarterback Lamar Jackson. Head Coach John Harbaugh has yet to provide an update on the two-time MVP’s status for Sunday, but reports from ESPN and The Baltimore Sun project Jackson's availability to be in doubt.
Backup quarterback Cooper Rush should be in line to start against Houston. Rush signed with the Ravens in the offseason on a two-year $6.2 million contract. He was under center for Baltimore’s last three drives of the game against the Kansas City Chiefs after Jackson exited with a hamstring injury.
