Overview
- Jackson fractured and dislocated his right thumb on the first offensive snap of the Nov. 1 game at Buffalo, underwent surgery and was placed on injured reserve.
- In a Nov. 13 written statement, coach Jesse Minter said injuries that require surgery typically take about 6–10 weeks to heal and that the team will let Jackson’s progress guide his return.
- Backup Tyler Huntley suffered a toe injury in the same Buffalo game and is expected to miss significant time, so Baltimore acquired veteran Jacoby Brissett to start while Jackson recovers.
- The 4-5 Ravens are on a four-game losing streak, and Jackson’s uncertain timetable could determine whether he plays again this season or returns only in the final weeks.
- The team’s unusual choice to deliver the update as a coach’s written statement highlights ongoing medical uncertainty and forces quick roster and rehab planning that will affect players and the club’s playoff outlook.
