Ravens Uncertain About Lamar Jackson’s Week 5 Play Due to Hamstring Injury; Nnamdi Madubuike Sidelined for Season with Neck Injury

The Baltimore Ravens face a challenging week as they prepare for their upcoming matchup against the Houston Texans, with several key players’ statuses up in the air.

Lamar Jackson’s Participation Remains Uncertain

Head coach John Harbaugh has not confirmed whether quarterback Lamar Jackson will participate in Wednesday’s practice. However, he clarified that the decision to sideline the two-time MVP during their recent game against the Kansas City Chiefs, despite a 17-point deficit, was solely due to his physical inability to continue playing.

Pro Bowl Star Nnamdi Madubuike Out for the Season

In a significant setback for the Ravens, standout defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike will miss the rest of the 2025 season. Harbaugh confirmed that Madubuike, a two-time Pro Bowler, is out due to a neck injury that led to his placement on injured reserve last week. Regarding Madubuike’s availability for the next season, there is currently no speculation from Harbaugh.

Injury Updates: Roquan Smith and Marlon Humphrey

Additional injury concerns loom over the team as linebacker Roquan Smith suffers from a Grade 2 hamstring strain, and cornerback Marlon Humphrey deals with a calf injury. According to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, both are expected to be sidelined for several weeks, per sources.

Upcoming Match: Ravens vs. Texans

The Baltimore Ravens are set to host the Houston Texans, who currently hold a 1-3 record, this Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. As the team adjusts to these new roster challenges, fans and analysts alike will be keeping a close eye on player recoveries and strategies implemented by Harbaugh as the season progresses.
