Ravens face adversity as Lamar Jackson departs with injury against Chiefs
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is dealing with an injury concern that has raised alarms during the second half of their Week 4 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The injury occurred late in the third quarter following a scramble, leading to Jackson being seen on the sidelines with a wrap around his leg. In his absence, Cooper Rush has stepped in, tasked with the daunting challenge of overcoming a 30-13 deficit.
Jackson’s Performance Before Exit
Before leaving the game, Jackson struggled against a formidable Chiefs defense. He completed 14 of 20 passes, totaling 147 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. Additionally, he managed to contribute 48 rushing yards, but it was clear that the Ravens were having a difficult afternoon against Kansas City.
Injury Update on Jackson
As the situation unfolds, CBS Sports’ Tracy Wolfson has reported that Jackson is currently questionable to return to the game.

The Ravens’ hopes now rest on the shoulders of Rush, who is stepping into a high-pressure situation. As the game progresses, all eyes will be on Jackson’s condition and whether he can return to the field.
