If Jackson cannot play, the Ravens will turn to either Cooper Rush again or Tyler Huntley. Harbaugh declined to state which one would start against the Bears.
In his two starts with Jackson sidelined, Rush completed 25 of 39 passes for 251 yards, with four interceptions to zero touchdowns. He threw for just 72 yards against the Los Angeles Rams before the bye.
Huntley provided a late-game spark against the Rams, going 10-of-15 for 68 yards passing and 23 yards rushing. He adds more of a running threat.
Huntley also has a history of filling in for Jackson against the Bears. In 2021, Jackson fell ill on the Ravens’ trip to Chicago and Huntley stepped in for a 16-13 victory in which he completed 26 of 36 passes for 219 yards.
“I thought Tyler Huntley played well,” Harbaugh said. “He practiced well. He looks good.”
In other good news, left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle), fullback Patrick Ricard (calf), linebacker Roquan Smith (hamstring), and cornerback Chidobe Awuzie (hamstring) were all full practice participants on Wednesday, a good sign about their availability for Sunday.
They only two players not on the practice field were cornerback Marlon Humphrey, who is sick, and outside linebacker Tavius Robinson, who was placed on injured reserve with a broken foot. Safety Kyle Hamilton, who spoke with media after practice, was limited due to his groin injury.
