Ravens HC Furious After Lamar Jackson Left Sitting on Bench With Injury, No Medical Check or Tent Evaluation
Kansas City, MO — September 28, 2025 — The Baltimore Ravens’ road trip to Arrowhead Stadium turned disastrous as franchise quarterback Lamar Jackson exited with a hamstring injury during a 37–20 blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4.
Late in the third quarter (8:10 remaining), with the Ravens trailing 30–10, Jackson was sacked by Chiefs defensive end George Karlaftis at Kansas City’s 14-yard line, resulting in a two-yard loss. Though he managed to walk off the field under his own power, TV cameras caught him furiously spiking his helmet and sitting on the bench alone — with no medical staff attending and no trip to the blue tent.
Moments later, Baltimore listed him as “questionable to return.” Jackson never re-entered, and backup QB Cooper Rush finished the game.
- Passing: 14/20, 147 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT
- Rushing: 48 yards
Despite flashes of playmaking, turnovers and heavy Chiefs pressure limited his impact.
Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes torched Baltimore’s secondary with four touchdown passes, becoming the youngest QB in NFL history to reach 250 career passing touchdowns.
Without Jackson, the Ravens unraveled. Costly mistakes, including an interception and a fumble, turned the game into a rout. The loss dropped Baltimore to 1–3, deepening early-season concerns.
Head coach John Harbaugh sought to calm fears postgame:
“Nothing looked season-ending,” Harbaugh said. “We’ll know more after further testing.”
Still, any hamstring issue is worrisome for Jackson, whose dynamic mobility fuels the Ravens’ offense.
Adding to the team’s troubles, Baltimore also lost key starters:
- OT Ronnie Stanley (calf)
- LB Roquan Smith (hamstring)
- CB Marlon Humphrey (calf)
The Ravens defense surrendered 382 total yards, while the offensive line gave up three sacks. Combined with Jackson’s injury, the Ravens now face major adversity.
For Baltimore, the story isn’t just the Week 4 loss — it’s whether their franchise quarterback can stay healthy enough to rescue a season already slipping away.
