With Lamar Jackson sidelined by a hamstring injury on Sunday, the Baltimore Ravens were destroyed 44-10 by the Houston Texans at MT&T Bank Stadium. The loss dropped the Ravens to 1-4 on the season, and the back-to-back AFC North champions sit tied at the bottom with the Cleveland Browns for last place in the division.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh told reporters after Sunday's game that he plans to try to right the ship this season, but the front office could soon decide to punt on the season and build for the future. The defense was already a big problem even before Jackson suffered an injury, and Baltimore doesn't appear to be a legit postseason threat.

The Ravens have plenty of pieces that would draw interest before the NFL's trade deadline on Nov. 4 if they want to secure resources for another season.
Eric D. Williams of Fox Sports talked to a league source who believes the Ravens would be willing to part with veteran tight end Mark Andrews.
"In terms of potential players who could be on the move at the trade deadline, another league source pointed to Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews," Williams wrote. "At 30 years old, Andrews is in the final year of a four-year, $56 million deal that will pay him $11 million in total compensation this season.
"With the Ravens scuffling at 1-3 and Baltimore already having a talented younger tight end on the roster in Isaiah Likely, Andrews could be an appealing trade candidate for a contender in need of a quality tight end."
Andrews, 30, is the third-leading receiver on the Ravens with 17 receptions for 150 yards and two touchdowns. The six-foot-five, 250-pound All-Pro has been a dangerous feature inside the red zone during his time in Baltimore.
The Ravens selected Andrews in the third round of the 2018 draft. He's made three Pro Bowl appearances during his eight years in the league.
Andrews would be a player for the Ravens to keep around if they had a chance to go deep in the playoffs. However, trading Andrews would allow the star tight end to chase a ring while Baltimore can focus on developing Likely.
