Ravens quarterback Jackson ruled out with thumb injury

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 1 Nov, 19:08 · Archive

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was ruled out after injuring the thumb on his right throwing hand on Baltimore's first offensive snap against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Jackson was hurt in his first start after missing three games with an ankle injury.

The injury occurred while Jackson was dropping back to pass and bouncing a pass attempt to Zay Flowers. His right hand struck pass rusher Greg Rousseau's arm, preventing him from completing his follow-through. Jackson immediately left the field and appeared to point to his thumb before reaching the sideline. He was escorted up the tunnel with backup Tyler Huntley taking over.

After initially listing Jackson as questionable, the Ravens ruled him out before the first quarter ended. Baltimore entered the game with a 4–3 record. The team went 1–2 during Jackson's previous absence, with offensive production significantly dropping off under Huntley. During those three games, Baltimore scored 63 fewer points and averaged 3 fewer yards per play compared to the first three games under Jackson.
