Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was injured in Week 4 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Following a field goal-scoring drive in the third quarter, Jackson was seen on the bench, favoring his right leg. He ultimately was taken out of action before the following Ravens’ drive due to a hamstring injury.

It seems that the injury happened after Jackson was sacked by Chiefs’ defensive end George Karlaftis on a third-and-short play. Jackson came off the field frustrated and had his hamstring looked at on the sideline throughout the following Kansas City possession.

Jackson was seen later on the CBS broadcast with a wrap around his right hamstring.

Head Coach John Harbaugh declined to comment on the severity of any of the injuries suffered in Sunday's loss, including Jackson's.

Many were speculating about the possibility of Jackson returning had the contest been closer, but Harbaugh also refused to comment on that.

Jackson was playing hero ball all game. On nearly every dropback, the 28-year-old was running for his life under pressure from Kansas City’s defensive line. He took several hits throughout the game, and the harsh outing clearly took a toll on him.

Backup quarterback Cooper Rush, whom Baltimore signed this past offseason, took over for Jackson from that point on.
