Ravens lose Lamar Jackson, four others to injuries against Chiefs -  Sportsnet.ca

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.

Chiefs Fan-Favourite WR Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is mourning a devastating personal loss following the team’s Week 5 matchup, as his cousin Justin Fuller, a respected military-trained skydiving instructor, died in a tragic tandem jump accident near Nashville. Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his parachute harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending its personnel for the effort. Justin Fuller, known by the nickname "Spidey," died after a tandem skydiving jump went wrong on Oct. 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee.  (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey ) Fuller, known affectionately as “Spidey,” had completed more than 5,000 jumps and trained U.S. military personnel in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused, and committed to lifting others higher — both in life and in the air.” Rice, who grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose, has long credited that example with shaping his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Rashee that strength isn’t being unbreakable — it’s standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Rashee lives and plays today.” As a featured target in the Chiefs’ offense, Rice has earned complete trust for his short-to-intermediate separation, yards-after-catch power (YAC), and chemistry with quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Coaches describe him as “calm, focused, and mature beyond his years,” a disciplined route-runner who finds tight windows in the red zone. Through Week 5 of the 2025 season, Rice has no registered game statistics as he serves a league-issued six-game suspension to start the regular season; major stat services list no 2025 game logs to date.  The Kansas City Chiefs have provided time and private support for Rice and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. The FAA is investigating the incident, while messages commemorating “Spidey” continue to spread nationwide.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. Rice kept his public remarks brief before leaving in the embrace of teammates:“Spidey always told me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
