Lamar Jackson expected to miss 6-9 weeks after surgery

Lamar Jackson, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, is projected to be sidelined for six to nine weeks due to a fractured and dislocated thumb. This injury occurred before a scheduled surgery to repair the damage. Should Jackson recover closer to the six-week timeline, he could return in time for a Week 15 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. If the recovery takes up to nine weeks, he may be available for a Week 18 game against the same opponent. Despite the significant injury setback, the Ravens anticipate his return later this season.
