Lamar Jackson Requires Thumb Surgery, Could Miss Remainder of Season

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson will undergo surgery for a thumb injury and may miss the rest of the season, according to head coach John Harbaugh. The announcement came on Sunday, November 1, 2026, dealing a significant blow to the Ravens' playoff aspirations.

Jackson, the 2019 NFL MVP and two-time Pro Bowl selection, has been the centerpiece of Baltimore's offense since being drafted in 2018. The thumb injury on his throwing hand raises questions about his availability for the remainder of the 2026 campaign.

The Ravens have not specified a timeline for Jackson's return, but the possibility of him missing the rest of the season suggests a substantial recovery period. Backup quarterback Tyler Huntley would likely assume starting duties in Jackson's absence.
