Cooper Rush Not Expected to Start if Lamar Jackson is Out for Week 8

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Cooper Rush has been clarified as not being the designated starter if Lamar Jackson (hamstring) is sidelined for Sunday's Week 8 game against the Bears. Head coach John Harbaugh explicitly stated that Tyler Huntley, rather than Rush, would take over the starting duties should Jackson be unavailable. This confirms Rush's role as a backup, with Huntley being the primary contingency plan at quarterback for the Ravens.
