Lamar to miss 3rd straight game, Huntley starting vs. Bears
The Baltimore Ravens ruled out quarterback Lamar Jackson for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears, the team announced.
Jackson will miss his third straight game due to a hamstring injury. The Ravens expect their star quarterback to return in time for Thursday's game against the Miami Dolphins, sources told EPSN's Adam Schefter.
Quarterback Tyler Huntley, elevated from the practice squad Friday, will start against the Bears. Cooper Rush started the Ravens' last two games against the Houston Texans and Los Angeles Rams. Head coach John Harbaugh confirmed Friday that Huntley would get the starting nod if Jackson was unable to go, per team reporter Ryan Mink.
The two-time MVP practiced in full on Friday after being a limited participant during the team's Wednesday and Thursday sessions. However, the Ravens downgraded Jackson's participation Friday from full participant to limited before ruling him out.

Harbaugh declined to discuss Jackson's status earlier in the week.
"I just think we're going to talk about it as we go and figure out what we got to do to try to win the game," Harbaugh said, according to ESPN's Jamison Hensley.
Huntley's first start of the season arrives at a pivotal point in the campaign, as the Ravens are 1-5 after losing four consecutive games.
Several other players for the Ravens are set to return from injury this weekend. Roquan Smith (hamstring), Patrick Ricard (calf), and Ronnie Stanley (ankle) are expected to be available after missing time recently.
