Lamar Jackson to Undergo Thumb Surgery, Season in Jeopardy
Lamar Jackson is set to have surgery on his injured right thumb, potentially sidelining him for the remainder of the season.
Lamar Jackson's return to the Ravens was short-lived as he sustained a right thumb injury during the game against the Bills. Head coach Jesse Minter confirmed that Jackson will undergo surgery and will be placed on injured reserve, which typically requires a minimum absence of four games. Minter expressed concerns that this injury could end Jackson's season.
In Jackson's absence, Tyler Huntley stepped in but also left the game due to a toe injury, forcing rookie Joe Fagnano to finish the match. The Ravens are scheduled to play again on Thursday, which may lead to Fagnano making his first NFL start against the Jaguars.
