Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is expected to return from his hamstring injury in Week 8 against the Chicago Bears after missing two games.

If memory serves, no man has ever won the NFL's MVP trophy by being absent from the playing surface. Call it a hunch, one of those things someone can be sure of without feeling the need to check his sources.

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.

The Lamar Jackson-less Ravens continued their disastrous slide Sunday in Baltimore, falling to 1-5 in a Week 6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams were nearly without star receiver Puka Nacua, but he returned from a second-quarter injury in a limited role as his team handed Baltimore a 17-3 loss.
