Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson injured once again and out of the game after only one play against Bills
by Armando Salguero · Fox NewsLamar Jackson's return to the Baltimore Ravens offense lasted all of one play on Sunday before he was injured once again.
The Baltimore Ravens quarterback started his first game since Oct. 4 against the Buffalo Bills. However, on his first play in nearly a month and on the Ravens' first offensive snap of the game, Jackson injured his right thumb.
After the game, Ravens coach Jesse Minter told reporters Jackson would require surgery and will be placed on injured reserve.
That means Jackson is out for the next four games at least.

Jackson was taken to the Ravens' medical tent and then immediately escorted to the team's locker room while wearing a towel around his entire right hand.
The team initially reported Jackson was questionable to return with a right thumb injury, but within a few minutes, it said Jackson was done for the game.
The quick change in status suggests the Ravens are dealing with a dislocated or fractured thumb.
It is impossible for a quarterback with an injured thumb on his throwing hand to spin the football.
Tyler Huntley took over at quarterback for the Ravens.
And this is all too familiar for Baltimore. But it would soon get worse.
Huntley left the game in the second quarter with a toe injury. He was questionable to return.
Third-string emergency quarterback Joe Fagnano, who had never played in a regular-season game, was thrust into duty while Huntley sat on the bench.
Rough day for Baltimore.

But Jackson suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Oct. 4 victory over Tennessee and has missed the past three games, with his mobility and ability to tolerate the pain remaining the primary concerns.
