The Baltimore Ravens' ship continues to crumble little by little.
The hope for the Ravens was that Lamar Jackson would only have to miss one week with his hamstring injury.
But on Wednesday's practice report, Jackson again did not participate.
That's the same status he held for all three days of practice a week ago before sitting out the Ravens' blowout loss to the Texans.

And now, Jackson is still sidelined to start the new week as the Ravens prep to take on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 6.
Baltimore is 1-4, such an unexpected reality for a team that had Super Bowl aspirations.
And if Jackson can't play against the Rams, L.A. will be solidly favored to hand Baltimore another loss.
The Ravens gave Cooper Rush his first start for them on Sunday, and he stood no chance of doing anything productive against the Texans.
Baltimore could choose to pivot to Tyler Huntley, but that's not a move that has been made at this point.

Jackson's injury is a tricky one, of course. The hamstring problem for a mobile quarterback is one that the Ravens surely know they have to be careful about.
But at the same time, they're watching their season disintegrate before their eyes. Coming back from 1-4 would be tough enough. Rebounding from 1-5? Nearly impossible.
The next two days' injury reports will be telling, as well. But right now, it's gotta be a bummer to be in that Ravens building trying to figure all of this out.
