Lamar Jackson has undergone thumb surgery, the Baltimore Ravens announced November 13, according to RapSheet. Head coach Jesse Minter said Jackson is expected to miss six to 10 weeks, AdamSchefter reported. Source Source
Jackson suffered a broken and dislocated right thumb against the Buffalo Bills, The Athletic reported, citing the team’s announcement. Whether he can return this season remains unclear. Source
An earlier ESPN report, dated November 8 and citing NFL Network sources, said he had told teammates he intended to return later this season. Baltimore can welcome the optimism without penciling him into a lineup. Source
Baltimore had also acquired Jacoby Brissett in a trade and expected him to start against the Los Angeles Chargers on November 16, according to that earlier report. ESPN also reported that Tyler “Snoop” Huntley was on injured reserve with a toe injury; NFL Network sources expected him to miss the rest of the season. Source
Four consecutive losses had left Baltimore at 4–5, ESPN’s earlier report noted. Undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano started the most recent defeat, 33–10 to Jacksonville. The Ravens had scored fewer than 14 points in four straight games. That offense needs more than a hopeful comeback story. Source
