THE 2025 season is slowly unraveling for the Baltimore Ravens.
As bad as a 1-3 start is for the Baltimore Ravens, things could get much worse in the coming weeks.

Lamar Jackson exited the Ravens’ Week 4 contest against the Kansas City Chiefs with a hamstring injury, and that is likely to sideline him for at least one week.
According to The Baltimore Sun, he will likely sit out of the Week 5 game against the Houston Texans.
The Ravens haven’t delivered any sort of timetable for Jackson’s recovery yet, but sources told The Baltimore Sun it could be an extended period of time out.
Given how sensitive hamstring injuries can be, Jackson could find himself sidelined for two to three weeks.
It isn’t a great time for Jackson to go down with injury, as the Ravens face a stretch of solid opponents.
The Texans come into the Week 5 matchup at 1-3, but showed huge signs of growth in their shutout win over the Tennessee Titans.
Next, the Ravens face the 3-1 Los Angeles Rams — who are true Super Bowl contenders.
Then, the Chicago Bears come to town with an up-and-coming team playing with some confidence.
On top of that, the three weeks that Jackson could miss are all home games.
You never want to lose a home game, and the Ravens could lose out on a huge opportunity to make up ground on the first-place Pittsburgh Steelers.
With Jackson injured, Cooper Rush will step up into the starting quarterback role.
“Everybody kind of knows what his game is, and he can play that game and that game is part of what we do,” head coach John Harbaugh said of Rush.
“If he’s out there, it will be geared toward him. We’ve got a good group around him.
“We have a lot of playmakers around him if he’s playing. Same thing for Tyler Huntley if he’s playing.”
