Lamar Jackson injures thumb, Ravens lose to Bills; Shedeur Sanders' missed chance revisited

Lamar Jackson's return to the field for the Baltimore Ravens was short-lived as he injured his right thumb on the first play, leading to a 36-10 defeat against the Buffalo Bills. Jackson's injury will require surgery, placing him on injured reserve for at least four games. With backup Tyler Huntley also injured, Shannon Sharpe discussed how Shedeur Sanders might have provided quarterback depth for the Ravens. Sanders was considered by Baltimore in the 2025 NFL Draft but opted for Cleveland instead, fearing a backup role with Jackson. The Ravens, currently at 4-4, face a critical situation as they prepare for a Thursday night game against the Jacksonville Jaguars with few options at quarterback.
