Jackson Faces 6-10 Week Recovery After Hand Injury
Jackson suffered the injury on his first play from scrimmage during a 36-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills when his throwing hand was hit by pass rusher Greg Rousseau, as Sky Sports reported.
The quarterback could still return this season if the struggling Ravens can get back into the postseason picture. “Recovery timelines are challenging to predict, but injuries like this that require surgery typically take about 6-10 weeks to heal,” said Baltimore head coach Jesse Minter.
“He is doing everything he can to get back, and we will let his progress guide the timing of his return,” Minter told Sky Sports. Having sat out the previous three fixtures due to a high ankle sprain, Jackson was now stepping back onto the field to play in a monumental clash of the campaign.

The situation worsened when reserve signal-caller Tyler Huntley picked up a toe injury during the opening two quarters, forcing undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano to step in as the emergency third-choice quarterback. Sitting at the bottom of the AFC North standings with a 4-5 record on the back of four straight defeats, the Ravens are set to entertain the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday.
