Lamar Jackson's best-case return aligns with Ravens' make-or-break AFC North stretch
Lamar Jackson might not be done yet. At least that’s what reports are signaling. The Baltimore Ravens quarterback is expected to miss six to nine weeks with a fractured and dislocated thumb, and Jackson plans to return in 2026.
That recovery timeline could line up perfectly with Baltimore’s end-of-season AFC North gauntlet. It’d have to be the best-case scenario, but the door might be open for the Week 15 battle against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
If Jacoby Brissett can keep the Ravens alive over the next several weeks, Jackson might have the opportunity to play hero. The team faces four straight AFC North foes to end the year — things could change dramatically.
