Baltimore Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson will miss his third straight game on Sunday due to his right hamstring injury, the team announced Saturday.
Per ESPN, Tyler Huntley will get the start against the visiting Chicago Bears, while Jackson is expected to be under center on Thursday when Baltimore (1-5) visits the Miami Dolphins.
Jackson had been listed as questionable to face the Bears (4-2).
The Ravens signed Huntley to the 53-man roster on Friday. Huntley was previously on the practice squad.
“I always prepare to start,” Huntley said Friday. “I treat it like every week. I’m studying and drawing out the plays, watching film and everything I need to do to be prepared, like I do every week.”
Without Jackson, the Ravens spun their tires with backup Cooper Rush operating the offense. In his two starts, they managed 13 total points, zero touchdown passes and six turnovers, prompting Huntley to enter the game in Rush’s place against the Los Angeles Rams two weeks ago.
Baltimore was on a bye last week.
Huntley took reps with the starting offense on Wednesday and Thursday while Jackson was listed as limited.
Huntley has a 3-6 record as a fill-in starter for Baltimore .
