The post Lamar Jackson\u2019s status \u2018up in the air\u2019 for Week 5 vs. Texans<\/a> appeared first on ClutchPoints<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Baltimore Ravens took a tough loss<\/a> against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4, and they also lost Lamar Jackson<\/a> in the second half due to a hamstring injury. There was a chance that Jackson could\u2019ve come back in if the score was closer, but it was better for the Ravens not to risk it.<\/p>\n

At the same time, he still suffered an injury, and it\u2019s not certain<\/a> if he\u2019ll be on the field in Week 5 against the Houston Texans, according to NFL Network\u2019s Ian Rapoport.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a hamstring injury that was enough to keep him out of Sunday\u2019s game. It is up in the air, fair to say, about whether Lamar Jackson will be able to play on Sunday,\u201d Rapoport wrote on X, formerly Twitter.<\/p>\n

Jackson is a mobile quarterback, so it may affect him more since he likes to run a lot. Luckily for the Ravens, he can also sit in the pocket and deliver accurate throws. With the Ravens at 1-3, losing Jackson for some time would be rough for the Ravens, as they need to find out how to rebound sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

The Ravens\u2019 schedule doesn\u2019t get any easier after the Texans, as they have a matchup against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 6.<\/p>\n

When head coach John Harbaugh was asked about Jackson\u2019s future<\/a> status, he didn\u2019t seem sure.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really don\u2019t have the answer to that right now,\u201d Harbaugh said.<\/p>\n

If Jackson can\u2019t play, Cooper Rush will step in his place, and he\u2019s had experience as a starting quarterback throughout his career. The best news for the Ravens would be for Jackson not to miss any time, but the way hamstring injuries usually are, it wouldn\u2019t be a surprise if he missed some time. It will be interesting to see what his practice status will be this week.<\/p>\n
