Yahoo Sports NFL on Lamar Jackson

Lamar Jackson thumb surgery, IR placement, potentially season-ending.

Lamar Jackson suffered a right thumb injury on his first snap back from a three-game ankle injury absence in Sunday's loss to Buffalo; he dropped back on play action, hit Bills edge rusher Greg Rousseau on his follow-through, and quickly left the field cradling his throwing hand. Head coach Jesse Minter announced Jackson will be placed on injured reserve to undergo surgery. Landing on IR will sideline Jackson for at least four games, but Minter said the injury could "potentially" be season-ending, indicating his absence figures to be much longer.
