Yahoo Sports NFL on Lamar Jackson

Jackson thumb surgery with discouraging reports, no return timeline confirmed.

Jackson placed on injured reserve ahead of Week 9 matchup with Jacksonville; set to undergo thumb surgery with discouraging reports but no firm timeline from the team regarding potential return later this year. Minimum four-game absence makes him eligible to return after Baltimore's Week 13 bye. Two-time MVP has stated reluctance to play before healthy enough, and feeling comfortable with an injured throwing hand presents an even higher bar to clear.
