Lamar Jackson Headed to Injured Reserve Following Thumb Surgery

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson will be placed on injured reserve after suffering a thumb injury that requires surgery. Jackson sustained the injury on his first pass attempt in a Week 8 loss to the Buffalo Bills when his hand struck a defender. The minimum four-game IR stint sidelines him through at least Week 12, with head coach Jesse Minter acknowledging the injury could potentially be season-ending.
