Baltimore Ravens head coach “Jesse Minter shared a statement” regarding the medical status of his starting quarterback.
The team confirmed that Lamar Jackson underwent “thumb surgery” following his recent injury.
According to the “official timeline provided by the organization”, Jackson is expected to miss between six and ten weeks of action.
If the recovery process takes only six weeks, Jackson could potentially return for a game against the “Cleveland Browns” in Week 16.
Such a timeline would also allow him to participate in the Ravens’ highly anticipated Thursday Night Football matchup against the “Cincinnati Bengals”.
That contest is currently scheduled to take place at Paycor Stadium on Dec. 31.
However, the outlook remains uncertain for the Baltimore Ravens, as noted by “the organization’s injury reporting”.
If the recovery period extends toward the ten-week estimate, the Cincinnati Bengals could face the Ravens without their starting quarterback for the second time this season.
The team has not provided further updates on the specific nature of the procedure or the rehabilitation plan beyond the initial recovery window.
Fans and analysts are monitoring the situation closely as the playoff race intensifies in the final weeks of the regular season.
The Ravens must now navigate a critical stretch of their schedule while managing the absence of their key offensive leader.
The coaching staff is expected to shift focus toward backup options to maintain momentum during the upcoming games.
The team’s performance without Jackson will be a significant factor in their postseason positioning as they look to secure a spot in the upcoming playoffs.
Further developments regarding the roster will be announced as the medical staff evaluates Jackson’s progress in the coming weeks.
