Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson and Roquan Smith were among five Ravens to not practice ahead of the Week 6 matchup vs. the Rams
There’s been no official announcement, but Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who missed his fourth straight Ravens practice, is expected to miss his second game since the 2023 season ahead of a Week 6 game against the Los Angeles Rams. Baltimore received some reinforcements on Wednesday when Ronnie Stanley and Kyle Hamilton returned to practice after sitting out the Week 5 loss to the Texans. Linebacker Roquan Smith (hamstring), cornerback Marlon Humphrey (calf), fullback Patrick Ricard (calf), and cornerback Chidobe Awuzie (hamstring) aren’t practicing.
Baltimore wide receivers Zay Flowers (shoulder) and Devontez Walker (oblique), and offensive tackles Roger Rosengarten (knee) and Joe Noteboom (ankle) were all limited. Rookie offensive lineman Emery Jones Jr. (shoulder) was a full participant as he starts his second week of practice.
Jackson was tackled while carrying the football in the second half and, upon returning to the bench, slammed his helmet down in frustration. The injury happened after Baltimore had already lost Jackson (hamstring), left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle), middle linebacker Roquan Smith (hamstring), and cornerback Marlon Humphrey (calf).
The Ravens are 1-4 and seem content with grouping and limping into the Week 7 bye, where they can regroup as an organization while getting healthier.
Jackson exited a Week 4 loss to the Chiefs, 14-20, passing for 147 yards, one touchdown, one interception, and an 86.9 rating, with 48 rushing yards. Rush replaced an injured Dak Prescott (hamstring) from Week 11 on, tossing 12 touchdowns and four interceptions while averaging only 6.1 yards per attempt.
