Lamar Jackson's 'Challenging' Injury Timeline Updated by Ravens HC Jesse Minter

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson will miss between six and 10 weeks as he recovers from a broken and dislocated thumb, head coach Jesse Minter said in a statement on Friday.

"Recovery timelines are challenging to predict, but injuries like this that require surgery typically take about 6-10 weeks to heal," Minter said. "He is doing everything he can to get back, and we will let his progress guide the timing of his return."

Jackson's health has been a primary storyline surrounding the Ravens throughout the 2026 campaign. 

First, he missed three games because of a high ankle sprain. While he returned for Baltimore's Week 8 game against the Buffalo Bills, he exited after his first snap with the thumb injury that required surgery.

To make matters worse, Baltimore lost backup Tyler Huntley to a turf toe injury and had to turn to Joe Fagnano for the rest of the loss to the Bills and the entirety of the following loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Ravens scrambled and traded for Jacoby Brissett in an effort to weather the storm.

Baltimore is looking to snap a four-game losing streak Monday night against the winless Los Angeles Chargers.
