Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson injured his right thumb on his first play back after missing three games with an ankle sprain.

Lamar Jackson's return to the Baltimore Ravens lasted one play. The quarterback, making his first appearance since 4 October after missing three games with a high-ankle sprain, injured his right thumb on his first offensive snap against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. As he dropped back to throw, Bills outside linebacker Greg Rousseau made contact with Jackson's right hand. Jackson immediately grabbed his thumb in obvious pain and walked toward the sideline with a towel over his right hand before being escorted to the locker room. He was ruled out for the rest of the game.

Before the ankle injury, Jackson had been highly productive for the Ravens this season, completing 68 of 96 passes for 967 yards, six touchdowns and one interception while adding 144 rushing yards and a touchdown. The Ravens had a 3–1 record in his starts. Jackson had admitted last week that he was not pain-free in his ankle but planned to attempt playing, saying 'I'm able to move around a little better'.

Tyler Huntley took over at quarterback for Baltimore.
