Lamar Jackson thumb injury requires surgery; placed on IR with uncertain timeline.

Lamar Jackson suffered a thumb injury in Week 8 and the Ravens coach announced he will have surgery and be placed on IR. The injury appears severe; the source notes his thumb 'looked gross' and suggests he is 'definitely not going to do the Kyler' (implying he won't return quickly like Kyler Murray did). This removes the Ravens' elite quarterback from fantasy consideration for the foreseeable future.
