Lamar Jackson faces lengthy recovery after surgery on dislocated thumb
Summary

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson underwent surgery on his right thumb and faces a recovery timeline of 6-10 weeks. Jackson sustained the injury during a game against the Buffalo Bills on November 1. As the Ravens struggle with four consecutive losses, they are one game out of playoff contention. In response, Baltimore has acquired Jacoby Brissett from the Arizona Cardinals, who will start against the Los Angeles Chargers. Jackson may return in Week 16 if the team remains in playoff contention, but the coaching staff will assess his recovery and the team's situation before making a decision.
