Ravens have a Cooper Rush-Tyler Huntley QB decision to make

2 hours ago 3

The Baltimore Ravens are in a bad, bad spot.

They're 1-4, and Lamar Jackson's availability going forward is in doubt due to a hamstring injury.

On Sunday, backup QB Cooper Rush made his first start since coming over from the Dallas Cowboys, and he threw three interceptions in a blowout loss to the Houston Texans.

And now there's a decision to be made, potentially.

The Ravens will be hoping Jackson can get back for Week 6, but that's not a given.

And if Jackson can't go, Baltimore could go two different ways with their quarterback situation.

Rush was signed to be the backup, at two years and $12 million.

But they've also got Tyler Huntley, who was a starter in Baltimore previously.

Huntley didn't spend the offseason with the Ravens, but he came on board at the start of the season.

And the thing Huntley has going for him is this: He's a better running QB than Rush, which means the Ravens can run more of their Jackson-designed plays when Huntley is out there.

Rush moves just fine, but he's a different style of quarterback.

This will be worth watching all week.

Will Jackson be back on the practice field? And if not, who gets the first-team reps? It's a big choice for Baltimore to try to rescue themselves from a 1-4 hole.
