HOUSTON – Baltimore Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson is officially out for Sunday’s football game against the Texans.
The Texans prepared in case Jackson would somehow be active despite a bad hamstring injury. Now, they’ll face backup quarterback Cooper Rush.
Rush has an entirely different style than Jackson, whose multidimensional skills are rare for a quarterback. Rush has a 9-5 record as a starter, including a loss last season to the Texans while stepping in for Dak Prescott with the Dallas Cowboys in a Monday night defeat.
The Ravens won’t have the former NFL Most Valuable Player along with fullback Patrick Ricard, linebacker Roquan Smith, cornerback Marlon Humphrey, offensive tackle Emery Jones and cornerback Chidobe Aquzie. Several key players are questionable for the Ravens
