The update came via a written statement from head coach Jesse Minter, an unusual way for the team to communicate injury news.\n\nJackson was hurt during Baltimore's Week 8 game against Buffalo and hasn't played since. Minter's statement said Jackson \"is doing well as he recovers,\" while noting that recovery timelines for this kind of injury are hard to pin down with precision.\n\n\"He is doing everything he can to get back, and we will let his progress guide the timing of his return,\" Minter said, adding that the team remains \"committed to playing our best football over the second half of the season.\"\n\nIn the meantime, Jacoby Brissett will continue running the offense in Jackson's absence. The statement did not specify an exact surgery date or address whether any additional procedures might be needed, leaving the Ravens' timeline for Jackson's actual return still somewhat open-ended.","published_at":"2026-11-13T19:20:13.711766+00:00","source_count":6,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Ravens update QB Lamar Jackson’s status after successful thumb surgery","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/ravens-qb-lamar-jackson-status-174405507.html"},{"outlet":"Fox Sports","publisher":"Fox Sports","title":"Ravens Reveal Lamar Jackson’s Broken And Dislocated Thumb, Recovery Timetable","url":"https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/baltimore-ravens-jesse-minter-lamar-jackson-injury"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Injured QB Jackson doing 'well' as Ravens eye 6-10 weeks out, Minter says","url":"https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/50472222/ravens-lamar-jackson-injury-typical-line-6-10-weeks"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Ravens announce Lamar Jackson had surgery on broken and dislocated thumb, will be out 6-10 weeks","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/ravens-announce-lamar-jackson-surgery-broken-dislocated-thumb-out-6-10-weeks/"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Ravens QB Lamar Jackson expected to miss 6-10 weeks following thumb surgery","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7779046/2026/11/13/lamar-jackson-ravens-thumb-injury-timeline/"},{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Jesse Minter: Injuries like Lamar Jackson's typically take 6-10 weeks to heal","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/jesse-minter-injuries-like-lamar-jacksons-typically-take-6-10-weeks-to-heal"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Ravens' coach Jesse Minter provides update on Lamar Jackson's recovery","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/ravens-coach-jesse-minter-provides-143601169.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jesse Minter: Injuries like Lamar Jackson's typically take 6-10 weeks to heal","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jesse-minter-injuries-lamar-jacksons-144350445.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (thumb) undergoes thumb surgery, expected to be out 6-10 weeks","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article/ravens-qb-lamar-jackson-thumb-undergoes-thumb-surgery-expected-to-be-out-6-10-weeks-145419199.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Ravens QB Lamar Jackson undergoes thumb surgery, expected to be out 6-10 weeks","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article/ravens-qb-lamar-jackson-undergoes-thumb-surgery-expected-to-be-out-6-10-weeks-151001861.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Ravens see 6-to-10-week absence for injured quarterback Lamar Jackson","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/ravens-see-6-10-week-153032462.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Will Lamar Jackson return this year?
