Lamar Jackson injury forced the Baltimore Ravens quarterback to leave their Week 4 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Jackson exited late in the third quarter after sustaining a hamstring issue, leaving the game with the Ravens trailing 30-13.
Details of the Injury and Impact on the Game
Jackson’s last play came with 56 seconds left in the third quarter when he was tackled for a 2-yard loss. At that point, he had completed 14 of 20 passes for 147 yards, throwing one touchdown and one interception. Additionally, he rushed six times for 48 yards, showing his usual dual-threat capability before the injury forced him out.
Backup quarterback Cooper Rush replaced Jackson for the remainder of the game. The Ravens were unable to mount a comeback and ultimately fell to the Chiefs. Head Coach John Harbaugh did not immediately provide an update on Jackson’s condition following the game, leaving his status uncertain.
Ravens’ Offensive Challenges Without Jackson
Jackson’s absence significantly impacted the Ravens’ offensive rhythm. The team struggled to generate momentum against a strong Chiefs defense. Jackson’s injury also limited his trademark running ability, which is a crucial part of Baltimore’s offensive identity. With Derrick Henry also neutralized by the Chiefs’ defense, the Ravens faced a tough challenge on both sides of the ball.
Further updates on Jackson’s recovery and availability for upcoming games are awaited as the team assesses the severity of the hamstring injury.
