Lamar Jackson's Hamstring Injury Threatens Ravens' Playoff Hopes
21 Oct
Summary
- Lamar Jackson sidelined with hamstring injury since Week 5
- Ravens sit at 1-5, need Jackson's return to salvage season
- Jackson's absence raises doubts about his availability for crucial Bears game
As of October 22nd, 2025, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson continues to be sidelined with a hamstring injury he sustained in the September 28th loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Jackson has missed the past two games, and his absence from the team's first practice since their Week 7 bye has raised concerns about his availability for the crucial Week 8 matchup against the Chicago Bears.
The Ravens, currently sitting at a disappointing 1-5 record, desperately need Jackson's return to salvage their 2025 season and keep their playoff hopes alive. Without their star quarterback, the team has fallen to both the Houston Texans and Los Angeles Rams, further highlighting Jackson's importance to the team's success.
In the games he has played, Jackson has shown strong performance, throwing for 869 yards, 10 touchdowns, and only one interception, while also rushing for 166 yards and one score. If the two-time NFL MVP can return and recapture that form, he could potentially spark a turnaround for the Ravens and even make a case for MVP consideration as the team fights to reach the postseason.
