BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Ravens benched quarterback Cooper Rush for Tyler Huntley trailing 17-3 in the fourth quarter of their Week 6 game against the Rams . Rush, signed this offseason to be Lamar Jackson's backup, was elevated to starter after Jackson suffered a hamstring injury in Week 4.

In a 44-10 loss to the Texans in Week 5, Rush threw for 179 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions. He was just 11 for 19 for 72 yards and an interception through three-plus quarters when he got pulled for Huntley.
