Cooper Rush was benched and replaced by Tyler Huntley in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 17-3 loss to the Rams. With Jackson sidelined for the second straight week with a hamstring injury, Rush threw for just 72 yards with one interception when Baltimore coach John Harbaugh turned to Huntley with 13:30 left in the game.

BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Ravens benched quarterback Cooper Rush for Tyler Huntley trailing 17-3 in the fourth quarter of their Week 6 game against the Rams. Rush, signed this offseason to be Lamar Jackson's backup, was elevated to starter after Jackson suffered a hamstring injury in Week 4.

Heading into week six, several superstars are sidelined with injuries. Lamar Jackson, Brock Purdy, and Brock Bowers are officially out on Sunday.

The injury-ravaged San Francisco 49ers suffered another blow Sunday when linebacker Fred Warner went down with a season-ending ankle injury, which required the four-time All-Pro to be carted off the field during a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and will require surgery.

If memory serves, no man has ever won the NFL's MVP trophy by being absent from the playing surface. Call it a hunch, one of those things someone can be sure of without feeling the need to check his sources.
