Yahoo Sports NFL on Lamar Jackson
From the article
Jackson was injured in the Ravens' Week 8 game against the Buffalo Bills. He began to attempt his first pass and hit his hand on a Bills defender who was pressuring him off the right side of the offensive line... "That'll be a surgery deal," Minter said. "He'll go to IR. That's a tough deal."
STACKED’s take
Jackson's thumb injury likely season-ending; surgery required, minimum four-game absence.
Jackson suffered a significant thumb injury to his throwing hand just one snap into his Week 8 return from a three-week ankle absence, hitting his hand on a Bills defender during pass attempt. Coach Jesse Minter stated the injury "could potentially be season-ending" and confirmed Jackson will undergo surgery and be placed on IR. The exact timeline remains unclear, but Jackson will miss at least four games (Weeks 9-12, with bye in Week 13), making earliest potential return Week 14 against Tampa Bay; however, Minter indicated more information would come "maybe sometime this week" after surgery, and it seems probable Jackson will miss more than the mandatory four-game IR stint.
