Lamar Jackson, Roquan Smith Miss Ravens Practice Wednesday
The Baltimore Ravens faced another practice day on Wednesday without several key players. Quarterback Lamar Jackson continues to be sidelined due to a hamstring injury sustained in Week 4 against the Kansas City Chiefs. In his absence, Cooper Rush took the quarterback role last Sunday. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh revealed that all options are open for personnel changes this week.
Lamar Jackson’s Injury Status
The absence of Lamar Jackson has raised concerns among fans and analysts alike. His hamstring injury has left the Ravens searching for a reliable alternative. Cooper Rush, who filled in for Jackson last week, is likely to continue as the starter if Jackson remains unavailable.
Defensive Challenges
Alongside Jackson, linebacker Roquan Smith missed practice due to his own hamstring issue. Smith also sat out last Sunday’s game against the Texans. This has further complicated the Ravens’ defense as they prepare for their upcoming match.
- Quarterback: Lamar Jackson – hamstring injury
- Linebacker: Roquan Smith – hamstring injury
- Cornerback: Marlon Humphrey – calf injury
- Cornerback: Chidobe Awuzie – hamstring injury
Reinforcements on the Line
Despite the injuries, the Ravens welcomed left tackle Ronnie Stanley and safety Kyle Hamilton back to practice. Their participation could significantly boost the team’s performance against the Los Angeles Rams this weekend.
The Ravens are currently regrouping and preparing strategies to handle the roster changes. With injuries affecting both offensive and defensive crucial positions, the team’s depth will be put to the test in the coming games. As fans await Jackson’s recovery, every practice becomes a critical opportunity for the remaining players to step up.
