Baltimore’s 2025 nightmare deepens as injuries derail a once-expected title run. A 44-10 loss to Houston drops the Ravens to 1-4, the defense yielding season-worst numbers while the offense, shuffled by Cooper Rush, stalled behind an injury-riddled depth chart. CJ Stroud torched the secondary for four TDs as Noel bagged his first NFL score, shadowed by Ray Lewis’ squirrel-dance nod before Jaire Alexander shoved the rookie. A major roster rebuild looks overdue.

With half the season still ahead, Harbaugh vows to “find ourselves” after the bye, while the Ravens lean on a young corps to grow up fast. Derrick Henry’s late TD tied Walter Payton for the fifth-most rushing scores, but Baltimore’s challenge isn’t just the scoreboard—it’s a roster-wide shortfall of impact talent as key veterans sit out and the defense struggles to generate stops.

Jackson's hamstring kept him out of practice for a second straight day ahead of Baltimore's home game vs. Houston. Ravens defenders Roquan Smith, Kyle Hamilton, Patrick Ricard, Marlon Humphrey, and Chidobe Awuzie were listed as missing practice; Nnamdi Madubuike hit IR. Houston's Will Anderson Jr. and Derek Stingley Jr. returned to practice, with Autry and Reed also progressing. Jackson's status and the Ravens' depth will shape Sunday's matchup.
