Ravens quarterback Lamar needs thumb procedure, will be placed on IR

Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson needs to have surgery on his injured right thumb and will be placed on IR, manager Jesse Minter shared after his organization’s 36-10 defeat against the Buffalo Bills.

Lamar sustained his thumb problem on his opening play in today’s match. While throwing a pass, the Ravens quarterback had his right hand struck by the hand of Buffalo outside LB Greg Rousseau, who was trying to knock down the throw.

The 2-time NFL MVP swiftly looked down at his hand and went outside the field. Jackson went into the tunnel with his right hand wrapped and held by an assistant.

Things became worse for Baltimore in the 2^nd quarter, when Tyler “Snoop” Huntley, who was 2-for-4 for zero yards, left the match with a right toe problem. He was ruled out after halftime.

With Lamar and Tyler sidelined, Ravens turned to the 3^rd QB, Joe Fagnano, an undrafted rookie out of Connecticut. Fagnano, who made his 1^st regular-campaign appearance after an impressive preseason, ended the match 10 of 21 passing for 91 yards and a pick.
