Jackson's injury history and durability concerns complicate Ravens' 2027 cap decision.

Jackson's thumb injury is his second injury this season and sixth significant injury of his career; he is guaranteed to miss at least four games for the fourth time in the last six seasons. The Ravens are 3-1 with Jackson and 1-3 without him this year; prior to 2026, they went 1-4 without him in 2021, 2-3 without him in 2022, and 2-2 without him in 2025. Baltimore missed the playoffs by one game in 2021 and 2025, raising durability concerns as Jackson enters a $51+ million base salary year.
