Ravens Confirm Lamar Jackson Out Due to Thumb Injury
Lamar Jackson has been ruled out of the game due to a right thumb injury sustained shortly after returning from a previous injury. Tyler Huntley has stepped in as the starting quarterback.
The Baltimore Ravens have confirmed that quarterback Lamar Jackson will not return to the game due to a right thumb injury. Jackson had just returned to the field for the first time since October 4, after missing three games due to a high ankle sprain, but was injured on his first play against the Buffalo Bills. He was hit while attempting a pass to Zay Flowers and subsequently left the field for evaluation.
Tyler Huntley has taken over as the starting quarterback in Jackson's absence. He has completed 2 of 3 passes for no yards so far in the game. The Bills currently lead the Ravens 10-7, following an interception by defensive lineman Broderick Washington, which occurred after a pass intended for tight end Jackson Hawes was deflected. The Ravens managed to score a touchdown on a 2-yard run by Derrick Henry, who has now become only the third player in NFL history to achieve 40 or more rushing touchdowns with two different franchises.
