Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 13 Nov, 16:32 · Archive

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is recovering from a broken and dislocated thumb suffered in Week 8 against Buffalo. Coach Jesse Minter said the injury typically requires six to ten weeks to heal and that Jackson had surgery.

Minter released a statement on social media providing the first specific details about the injury. He said recovery timelines are challenging to predict but that Jackson is doing well and 'doing everything he can to get back'. The Ravens said they will let his progress guide the timing of his return and are 'committed to playing our best football over the second half of the season'.

The Ravens are 4-5 and host the winless Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night. Jacoby Brissett, acquired in a trade, will become the fourth different starting quarterback in a four-game span. Jackson's backup Tyler Huntley is on injured reserve with a toe injury.
