The Baltimore Ravens continue to have a miserable season.
They enter Week 8's matchup with the Chicago Bears with a 1-5 record and a quarterback situation that isn't getting easier.
Lamar Jackson is on the sideline again.
This time, the Ravens are starting Tyler Huntley instead of Cooper Rush, who started the first two Jackson absences but combined for just 13 points across those games.
Baltimore's slim playoff hopes are fading fast, and the Super Bowl favorites will have to find a way to rebound with Huntley at QB against the Bears instead of Jackson.

Why isn't Lamar Jackson playing today?
Lamar Jackson isn't playing in Week 8 due to his ongoing hamstring injury.
He returned to practice Wednesday for the first time in three weeks, then was limited both that day and Thursday.
He was originally listed as a full participant in Friday's practice, but the Ravens retroactively termed him limited, because he had only worked with the scout team.
On Saturday, the Ravens ruled him out officially.
Jackson has a good chance to be on the field in Week 9 for Thursday Night Football against the Miami Dolphins in just four days.
First, Huntley has to find a way to beat the Bears with Jackson only on the sideline to lend some support.
