What's Happening?
The Baltimore Ravens have announced that quarterback Lamar Jackson will not play in their Week 8 game against the Chicago Bears due to a hamstring injury. Jackson's status was downgraded from full to limited
participation in practice, leading to his being ruled out for the game. In his absence, Tyler Huntley will start as quarterback. The Ravens are currently struggling with a 1-5 record and are looking to end a four-game losing streak. Jackson is expected to return in Week 9 against the Miami Dolphins.
Why It's Important?
Lamar Jackson's absence is a significant blow to the Ravens, who are already facing a challenging season. Jackson is a key player for the team, and his absence puts additional pressure on Tyler Huntley to perform. The Ravens' playoff hopes are dwindling, and another loss could further diminish their chances. For the Bears, Jackson's absence presents an opportunity to capitalize on the Ravens' vulnerabilities and secure a win.
What's Next?
The Ravens will focus on supporting Tyler Huntley as he steps into the starting role, while also preparing for Jackson's anticipated return in Week 9. The team will need to address their overall performance issues to improve their standings. The Bears, meanwhile, will aim to exploit the Ravens' current weaknesses and strengthen their own position in the league.
