NFL fans had a lot to say about the latest update regarding Lamar Jackson's injury. The veteran quarterback suffered a hamstring injury on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs in a 37-20 loss to the defending AFC champions.

Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reported on Tuesday that Jackson could miss two to three weeks with this issue, meaning he won't be available for the Week 5 matchup against the Houston Texans.

As soon as the report appeared on social media, many fans reacted. Some said the season was over for the Ravens and urged Cooper Rush to rise to the occasion with Jackson out of the picture.

Others remembered that Shedeur Sanders told the Baltimore Ravens he didn't want to join the team and lamented that he couldn't start this week.

"sucks sheduer didn’t wanna go to baltimore," one fan said.
"Imagine if they had Shedeur," another fan said.
"Damn Shedeur could have been starting," another fan added.

Lamar Jackson went 14 of 20 for 147 yards and one touchdown against one interception and three sacks. He exited the field early in the third quarter, as Cooper Rush took over. The former Dallas Cowboys playmaker went 9 of 13 for 52 yards.

The Ravens started the game up 7-0 after scoring in the very first drive, but the Chiefs dominated the matchup since the second quarter.

Baltimore is 1-3 after the Chiefs duel, and the challenge appears to be easier in Week 5, when they go against the winless Houston Texans. This time, however, they won't have Jackson under center.

The Ravens' season could get off track without Lamar Jackson

The Ravens could see their playoff hopes killed in the next two weeks without Lamar Jackson on the field. After they face the Texans, Baltimore will clash with the LA Rams in Week 6.

Going into bye week with a 1-5 record would be deadly for the Ravens. They will return to action against the Chicago Bears in Week 7 before a relatively easy matchup against the Miami Dolphins. The rest of the calendar will feature duels against the Minnesota Vikings, two duels against the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cincinnati Bengals, respectively, and a trip to Lambeau Field to face the Green Bay Packers.

The situation looks complex right now, but it could look worse near the end of the season.
