Ravens coach Jesse Minter confirmed Jackson will be placed on IR, requiring a minimum four-game absence (Weeks 9-12), making him eligible to return Week 14 against Tampa Bay after the Week 13 bye. Minter acknowledged the injury could "potentially" be season-ending and declined to provide specifics, noting Jackson had not yet undergone surgery as of Nov. 2 with a more concrete update expected "maybe sometime this week."
