The Baltimore Ravens were again without quarterback Lamar Jackson for Thursday’s practice, a sign that the two-time NFL MVP could be out for a second straight game.
As the Ravens saw cornerback Marlon Humphrey and fullback Patrick Ricard (calf) return to the field, Jackson was absent as he deals with a hamstring injury that could keep him out of Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams. It was the fifth straight practice Jackson has missed and head coach John Harbaugh wasn’t ready to give a firm update either way on the quarterback’s status.

“Same with all the guys that are dealing with different injuries,” Harbaugh said Wednesday. “I think it’ll be indicative as the week goes along what their status will be going forward.”
Injuries have hit the 1-4 Ravens hard and after the Rams game they will have their bye week before resuming action on Oct. 26 against the Chicago Bears. Cooper Rush will get the start if Jackson is ruled out once again.

Jackson might not be the only big name to miss Week 6, too. San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is not practicing Thursday as he battles a toe injury, which suggests Mac Jones is in line to start at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in one of the biggest games of the weekend.

Two of the top wide receivers in the NFL didn’t practice Thursday, either. The Washington Commanders’ Terry McLaurin is still dealing with a quad injury and might miss this week’s Monday nighter against the Chicago Bears, while the Kansas City Chiefs’ Xavier Worthy is battling shoulder and ankle injuries and might miss “Sunday Night Football” against the Detroit Lions this week.
Week 6 kicks off Thursday night with the Philadelphia Eagles traveling to face the New York Giants.
