John Harbaugh Addresses Lamar Jackson's Hamstring Injury After Ravens' Tough Loss

It's official: Lamar Jackson's hamstring concern is now more prominent than the Ravens' playoff aspirations. Following what felt less like a game and more like a team therapy session, Coach John Harbaugh addressed the injury at a press conference. Ravens fans are now relying on optimism, prayers, and perhaps some herbal alternatives, while Harbaugh serves as the team's de facto medical spokesperson. Jackson exited during the third quarter of Sunday’s 37-20 defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs after being sacked by defensive end George Karlaftis and did not return. The two-time NFL MVP spent the rest of the match on the sidelines, intermittently flexing his injured right leg. “There’s nothing indicating a season-ending injury,” Harbaugh stated while noting five starters had also succumbed to injuries. When asked if Jackson could have re-entered had the score been tighter, Harbaugh admitted uncertainty. Jackson, who had his worst outing of the season, recorded an interception and a fumble. With the Ravens now at 1-3, they echo the dismal starts of 2005 and 2015, seasons that ended without playoffs.
