NFL injury tracker: Latest injury news, fantasy implications for Week 5 as Lamar Jackson ruled out, Bucky Irving on crutches

Jump to a team:

After looking unlikely that Lamar Jackson would play Sunday, the Baltimore Ravens quarterback has been officially ruled out for Week 5’s matchup against the Houston Texans. A hamstring injury has kept the quarterback from practicing this week and he was not on the field as the team continued Week 5 preparations on Friday.

Jackson left Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs with the hamstring injury and there is concern that the two-time NFL MVP could miss multiple weeks. With Jackson out, Cooper Rush will start for the Ravens.

It’s a decent list of DNP’s on Friday for the Ravens. Among those joining Jackson are safety Kyle Hamilton (groin), linebacker Roquan Smith (hamstring), cornerback Marlon Humphrey (calf) and fullback Patrick Ricard (calf).

The Ravens are looking to avoid falling to 1-4 for the first time since 2015 when they finished 5-11 and missed the playoffs. After the Texans, they host the Los Angeles Rams before their bye week.

Other notable Week 5 injuries:

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels was cleared to play this week after missing the past two games with a sprained left knee. In the two games that Daniels missed, the Commanders went 1-1 with Marcus Mariota under center. Daniels will be down two receivers for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers with Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown ruled out.
Bucky Irving could miss more than this week for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a foot sprain, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. Irving has been ruled out after wearing a boot all week and using crutches around the team’s practice facility. Head coach Todd Bowles said he wanted to see Irving shed the boot by Friday in order for him to be a consideration to play against the Seattle Seahawks. There is reportedly concern that Irving will also be out for next week’s game against the San Francisco 49ers.
It’s been a downward trend this week for Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers. After being listed as limited in Wednesday’s practice, he was downgraded to a non-participant on Thursday and was sidelined again on Friday as he deals with a knee injury that’s been bothering him since Week 1. The knee has yet to keep him out of a game this season, but is now a concern if he cannot take part in practice. Pete Carroll told reporters on Friday that they expect Bowers to play this weekend, but that he is questionable for now.
Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard will miss their game against the Miami Dolphins with a calf injury. Hubbard has not practiced this week and Rico Dowdle is set for a bigger role.
