ExtremeRavens Posted September 28 Posted September 28 Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson exited with a hamstring injury in the third quarter of Baltimore’s critical matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium. Jackson was ruled questionable to return as the game entered the fourth quarter with Baltimore trailing, 30-13. The two-time NFL Most Valuable Player appeared to injure his hamstring on the final play of a Ravens’ drive. He was tackled from behind by Chiefs defensive end George Karlaftis and ran off the field without a noticeable limp. Jackson threw his helmet on the sideline in frustration and sat on the bench. Cooper Rush entered in relief. Jackson was 14-for-20 for 147 passing yards, one touchdown and one interception before exiting. He also added 48 rushing yards on six carries. He did not return to open the fourth quarter. He remained on the sideline for the rest of the game. The Ravens were ravaged by injuries in Sunday’s contest. Multiple starters — cornerback Marlon Humphrey, linebacker Roquan Smith, cornerback Nate Wiggins and offensive lineman Ronnie Stanley all exited the game early. Jackson’s injury ended the Ravens’ slim comeback hopes. Jackson’s never injured his hamstring before and has only missed 10 games in his career. The Ravens’ upcoming schedule includes a home matchup with the Houston Texans (1-3) next week and the Los Angeles Rams (3-1) the following week. Baltimore is on the verge of dropping to 1-3, as it trails 37-13 against Kansas City in the fourth quarter. Only a handful of 1-3 teams have ever made the conference championship game and if Jackson were to miss any time, the team’s playoff hopes becomes much murkier. This article will be updated.
