Lamar Jackson Reportedly Unlikely to Play Against Texans, Could Miss 2-3 Weeks
Lamar Jackson is unlikely to play Sunday against the Houston Texans due to the hamstring injury he suffered in the Ravens’ loss in Kansas City, according to The Baltimore Sun’s Brian Wacker, who added that the two-time MVP could be sidelined for up to 2-3 weeks.
“Hamstring injuries typically keep a player out for 2-4 weeks, depending on the severity, though a source said that Jackson will try to see if he could return in time for Sunday,” Wacker wrote.
After facing the Texans (1-3) at home, the Ravens (1-3) host the Los Angeles Rams (3-1) in Week 6, have a bye in Week 7, and host the Chicago Bears (2-2) in Week 8.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter said on his podcast that his guess is that Jackson won’t play against the Texans.
“I would say that there’s a question as to whether he’ll play this week and next week, and if they hold him out those two games, he basically gets a month off to rest the hamstring,” Schefter said.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said on “Good Morning Football” Wednesday that Jackson’s status for Sunday’s game “is in doubt,” but the two-time MVP will try to suit up if he can.
