It’s a nightmare situation for the Baltimore Ravens — 2-time NFL MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson gets hurt against the Buffalo Bills in Sunday’s Week 8 showdown.
In this case, it happened on the very first play of the game.
“Lamar Jackson just hurt his hand/arm on the first play and is going straight to locker room,” The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec wrote on his official X account. “Tyler Huntley in.”
Jackson returned to the lineup after missing the last three games with a high ankle sprain. Replays showed Jackson hurt his thumb when it hit Bills edge rusher Greg Rousseau‘s helmet.
Jackson ran to the sideline immediately, looked down at the injury, then buckled over. He was immediately surrounded by training staff and escorted to the locker room.
“Lamar Jackson heads to the locker room after the very first play,” NFL insider Jordan Schultz wrote on his official X account.
“Unreal,” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport wrote on X. “Lamar Jackson heads to the locker room with an injury.”
“Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is questionable to return with a thumb injury,” ESPN’s Jamison Hensley wrote on X.
