Jackson Out for Season After Thumb Injury on First Play
6 Nov
Summary
- Lamar Jackson suffered a thumb injury on his first play back.
- Surgery is required, potentially ending Jackson's season.
- Ravens have struggled significantly without Jackson starting.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson suffered a devastating thumb injury on his first snap back from an ankle issue, potentially ending his season. The injury occurred when a defender's hand struck Jackson's thumb during a pass attempt. He is expected to undergo surgery and be placed on injured reserve, with no definitive return timeline.
This latest setback amplifies concerns about the Ravens' performance without Jackson, who has missed significant time. Since 2019, the team has struggled to a 7-14 record in games he hasn't started, scoring only six touchdowns in 18 quarters without him this season.
Jackson's injury also intensifies discussions about his uncertain contract status. While his current deal runs through 2027, he and the Ravens have not reached an extension. His significant projected 2027 cap hit presents a financial challenge, fueling speculation about his future with the team.
