Lamar Jackson ruled out with thumb injury after one pass
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson left the Week 8 game due to a thumb injury in the first quarter, and he was ruled out.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (thumb) was able to return from an ankle injury to start Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills , but he hit his right thumb on a helmet on a pass attempt follow through, and he was quickly ruled out.
He attempted just a single pass, which ended up incomplete, before heading for the blue medical tent. It's possible that he suffered a broken thumb, but that hasn't yet been verified. However, he was ruled out very quickly, which in indicative of a more serious injury.
Why it Matters: It's a bummer for fantasy managers, as Jackson just missed several games due to an ankle injury. Tyler Huntley took back over, and he'll likely be the starter in Week 9 on a short week, as the Ravens play again on Thursday night, although that is not yet confirmed.
