Lamar Jackson to Have Surgery After Exiting Game vs. Bills

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson got injured during the first play on Sunday's game.

Lamar Jackson will undergo surgery following his exit from the game against the Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens head coach Jesse Minter announced on Sunday. The thumb injury sustained during the opening play of the match will require the necessary procedure. Minter further disclosed that Jackson will be placed on injured reserve.

The 2026 NFL season has not been particularly impressive for Jackson. Earlier this week, he expressed his excitement about returning to the field and contributing to the team's success. Prior to his absence for three games due to an ankle injury, the Ravens secured a 3-1 record, showcasing Jackson's exceptional performance with a 70.8% completion rate, 967 yards, six touchdowns, and one interception.
