On Monday, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh opened the door for Jackson missing Week 5, saying that if the star quarterback could have gone back in the game against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4, he would have.

That does open the door to Jackson missing next Sunday vs. the #Texans.

After Baltimore opened as a seven-point favorite at home against Houston on Monday, oddsmakers at FanDuel Sportsbook moved the spread down to Ravens -4.5 after news that he was set as questionable for this week.

The spread in the game continued to shrink and was sitting at Ravens -3.5 as of Tuesday morning. Now, with the latest news that he's likely to miss the game, the line has made another significant shift down another four points. As of the time of this update, the Ravens now sit as 1.5-point underdogs. The Texans have flipped from being 7-point underdogs to 1.5-point favorites in the span of the past week, a shift of 8.5 points.

Both Baltimore and Houston are in need of a win in Week 5, as both teams are just 1-3 and in danger of missing the playoffs in the AFC. Baltimore's defense has been one of the worst in the NFL (30th in EPA/Play), and Rush likely can't carry the offense to a win.

This season, Jackson has thrown for 869 yards, 10 touchdowns and just one interception this season. He's also added 166 rushing yards and a score on the ground while averaging a whopping 7.9 yards per carry.
