Overview
- Lamar Jackson broke and dislocated his right thumb on Nov. 1 and underwent surgery after leaving the Week 8 game, the Ravens confirmed.
- On Nov. 13 coach Jesse Minter said injuries like Jackson's typically take about 6–10 weeks to heal and that the team will let Jackson's recovery dictate his return date.
- Baltimore placed Jackson on injured reserve and acquired Jacoby Brissett to stabilize the position while backup Tyler Huntley recovers from a season-ending toe injury.
- Jackson had already missed time this season with an ankle issue and through his appearances he completed 70.1% of passes for 967 yards, six touchdowns and one interception while rushing for 144 yards and one TD.
- The timetable for Jackson's healing will affect play-calling, short-term roster moves and the Ravens' chances to compete in the second half of the season, so the team says it will prepare each week without assuming his availability.
