The sight of Lamar Jackson sitting on the bench in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs sent a chill down the spine of Baltimore Ravens fans.
With the way the Ravens' defense has played in the early weeks of the season, Baltimore needs Lamar Jackson now more than ever. The two-time MVP entered Week 4 with a league-leading nine touchdown passes through three games, but it still wasn't enough for more than one win.
Now, Jackson's health is a major concern for a Ravens team that will have to dig out of an early hole in the AFC North.
Here's what you need to know about Jackson's injury status going forward.

Lamar Jackson injury update
Jackson was replaced by backup Cooper Rush due to a hamstring injury on Sunday, according to the CBS broadcast. He was labeled "questionable" to return but did not return with the Chiefs ahead by three possessions.
The injury appeared to occur on a sack by George Karlaftis, which was the final play of a third quarter drive for the Ravens before a Tyler Loop field goal. Jackson got right back up after being tackled, so it wasn't clear he was dealing with an injury until Baltimore opened its next offensive possession with Rush under center.

Trainers tended to Jackson's leg on the sideline after the injury, though the former MVP was seen sitting on the bench without any medical attention while Rush went to work with the Ravens' offense.
After the game, Ravens coach John Harbaugh was not able to say whether Jackson would have returned if the game was closer. Baltimore offered few details on Jackson's status going forward.
