ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson walked off the field while looking in disbelief at his misshapen and battered right thumb, a stunning turn of events that has become the lasting image amid the uncertainty surrounding the rest of this season as well as his future with the team.
After Sunday's 36-10 loss at the Buffalo Bills, Ravens coach Jesse Minter said that Jackson will undergo surgery and that his injury is "potentially" season-ending. There are more questions about what lies ahead next offseason for Jackson, given that 2027 is the final year of his contract and includes a massive salary cap hit.
