Ravens use standard practice squad elevations on QB Tyler Huntley, who will back up Cooper Rush Sunday; and DT C.J. Okoye.
They do not make any IR moves and they do not add any DBs with CBs Marlon Humphrey and Chidobe Awuzie both out and S Kyle Hamilton questionable.

S Kyle Hamilton (groin), OLB Odafe Oweh (eye), LT Ronnie Stanley (ankle) and WR Devontez Walker (oblique) are all QUESTIONABLE.
OT Emery Jones Jr. (shoulder) is also OUT.

Cooper Rush: "Whenever a franchise QB goes down, it’s always a sky is falling feeling everywhere you are. It’s normal. If you have to go out there on Sunday and do what you got to do, it’s nice knowing you had a whole week to prep for it."

Jeff Zrebiec @jeffzrebiecbot.bsky.social · 6d

Rush said that Lamar Jackson “has been around” and is “doing everything he can to get right.”

Jeff Zrebiec @jeffzrebiecbot.bsky.social · 6d
