Is Lamar Jackson playing today? Latest injury news, QB depth chart update for Ravens star image

The Baltimore Ravens' entire team orbits around Lamar Jackson.

That made things extra tough last Sunday when Jackson left a big clash with the Kansas City Chiefs due to a hamstring injury and did not return.

The Ravens lost that game and fell to 1-3, and then Jackson didn't immediately get better.

Jackson sat out practice all week as the Ravens got ready for their Week 5 game, earning a DNP on all three practice reports.

Is Lamar Jackson playing today?

Lamar Jackson has already been ruled OUT for Week 5.

The Ravens' star quarterback couldn't heal from his hamstring injury in time.

The worse news is that multiple reports have indicated Jackson could miss another week, too. That would add up since he still hadn't practiced one bit by the end of this week.

And as a running QB, Jackson's hamstring health is rather important.
