Star quarterback Lamar Jackson was among 8 Baltimore Ravens players to sit out practice on Wednesday ahead of the Week 5 matchup vs. the Texans

The Baltimore Ravens' injury bug is becoming an epidemic. On Wednesday, the Ravens were without eight players due to injury at practice, including starting quarterback Lamar Jackson, raising alarm ahead of a pivotal Week 5 home game against the Houston Texans.

The Ravens signed Kenyon Green, the 2022 No. 15 pick of the Houston Texans, to their practice squad on Tuesday. Green’s arrival comes after Carolina signed second-year guard Nick Samac off the Ravens’ practice squad on Sept. 16.

No, Lamar Jackson is not out for the season. A viral post on Instagram says that is the case and credits it to ESPN insider Adam Schefter, but Jackson being out for the season with a torn ACL is fake news.

Even before Lamar Jackson left in the third quarter with a hamstring problem, the Baltimore Ravens were in big trouble.

Lamar Jackson to Justice Hill for 11 yards caps a 70-yard touchdown drive for the Ravens. It was a good drive that featured a lot of Derrick Henry, a little Mark Andrews and a big pass to Zay Flowers. Before Patrick Mahomes touches the ball, Ravens lead 7-0. Mahomes misfires on third down, but the Chiefs are going for it. And Worthy picks it up.

A 30-23 Ravens win is the prediction from the Arizona Republic’s Jeremy Cluff. This is from his story: “We just don’t see the Chiefs being able to match the Ravens’ offense in this one. It would take a dynamic defensive performance from Kansas City to have a shot. Patrick Mahomes and company will fall to 0-2 at home and 1-3 on the season.”

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson runs into the back of his own offensive lineman and fumbles the football away for his second turnover against the Kansas City Chiefs.
