Jackson will try and return to play towards the Texans. However the nature of Jackson’s damage sometimes retains gamers out for 2 to 4 weeks. Following Sunday’s recreation, the Ravens play the Los Angeles Rams in Week 6, have a bye in Week 7, and host the Chicago Bears in Week 8.
If Jackson can’t begin, backup quarterback Cooper Rush is anticipated to get the nod towards Houston. The veteran backup went 9-of-13 passing for 52 yards towards the Chiefs.
It is at all times unlucky to be with out your beginning quarterback, however that is notably poor timing for the Ravens. Baltimore’s postseason hopes dangle within the steadiness within the subsequent few video games as they attempt to get again to .500 after taking part in powerful competitors within the Buffalo Payments, Detroit Lions and Chiefs in September.
Rush did not present a spark for the Ravens offense when he was inserted into Sunday’s recreation. Baltimore might be in deep trouble if Jackson has to overlook their contest towards the 3-1 Rams in Week 6.
