John Harbaugh made it clear: Cooper Rush will start if Lamar Jackson can’t suit up. According to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, “Harbaugh said that Cooper Rush would be the starter if/when Lamar can’t go.”

Lamar is still sidelined, nursing a hamstring injury from Week 4. He hasn’t practiced since then, leaving Rush to carry the Baltimore Ravens against the Los Angeles Rams.

Last week, Rush threw three picks but kept the offense moving at least. The Ravens hope the Week 7 bye lets Lamar heal enough to return in Week 8. Key players like Roquan Smith and Devontez Walker also missed Friday’s practice.
