Ravens coach says Lamar Jackson's injury typically requires a 6-10 week healing
period
OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) --- Baltimore Ravens coach Jesse Minter said Friday that
quarterback Lamar Jackson is recovering from a broken and dislocated thumb ---
and that it typically takes six to 10 weeks to heal from that type of injury.
Jackson was hurt during a Week 8 game against Buffalo. This was the first time
Minter and the Ravens offered any specific details on the injury. The update
came in the form of a statement on social media, and Minter cautioned that
timelines are difficult to predict.
"Lamar is doing well as he recovers from the broken and dislocated thumb injury
he suffered in Week 8. Recovery timelines are challenging to predict, but
injuries like this that require surgery typically take about 6-10 weeks to
heal," Minter said. "He is doing everything he can to get back, and we will let
his progress guide the timing of his return. We are committed to playing our
best football over the second half of the season."
Baltimore (4-5) hosts the winless Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night. The
Ravens traded for Jacoby Brissett, who is set to become their fourth different
starting quarterback in a four-game span. Tyler Huntley, who was Jackson's
backup, is on injured reserve with a toe issue.
