Story summary

On November 1, Lamar Jackson, the Baltimore Ravens quarterback, was injured during his first offensive snap against the Buffalo Bills after returning from a high-ankle sprain that had kept him out for three games. Jackson's right thumb was dislocated or fractured when it hit defensive end Greg Rousseau’s arm as he attempted to throw the ball. The injury ruled him out for the rest of the game and led to surgery, potentially ending his season.

Backup quarterback Tyler Huntley also exited early in the second quarter due to a toe injury, leaving rookie undrafted free agent Joe Fagnano to finish the game. The Ravens lost 36-10 to the Bills, dropping them to 4-4 and last place in the AFC North.

Jackson is expected to undergo surgery on his thumb and be placed on injured reserve, which will likely keep him out for at least four games. Huntley's MRI results are pending but could also sideline him for an undetermined period.
