Ravens QB Lamar Jackson ruled out after hurting thumb on right throwing hand

On Sunday, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson suffered a thumb injury on his right throwing hand during the first offensive snap against the Buffalo Bills. The injury occurred as Jackson dropped back to pass to Zay Flowers. He failed to complete his throwing motion as his right hand collided with Buffalo's pass rusher Greg Rousseau's arm.

Jackson immediately left the field, pointing to his thumb before taking a knee and heading to the sideline. He was then escorted off the field, with backup Tyler Huntley assuming his position. Initially listed as questionable, the Ravens confirmed Jackson's absence before the first quarter concluded. Following Jackson's injury, the Ravens went 1-2 in their subsequent games, during which they saw a significant drop in offensive production.

In the three games following the injury, the Ravens scored 63 fewer points and averaged 3 fewer yards per play compared to the first three games under Jackson's leadership.
