Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson will miss six to 10 weeks as he recovers from a broken and dislocated thumb.
Jackson suffered the injury in his first game from scrimmage in Baltimore’s 36-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills when his throwing hand was hit by pass rusher Greg Rousseau, but could return this season if the Ravens can get back into the postseason picture.
“Recovery timelines are challenging to predict, but injuries like this that require surgery usually take about 6-10 weeks to heal,” Baltimore coach Jesse Minter said.
“He’s doing everything he can to come back and we’ll let his progress guide the timing of his return.”
Jackson was returning to action for one of the biggest games of the season after missing the last three games with a high ankle sprain.
