Landing on IR will sideline Jackson for at least four games, but his absence figures to be much longer. Minter said that the injury could “potentially” be season-ending. Jackson injured his thumb on his first snap back from a three-game absence due to a high ankle injury. He dropped back to pass off play action, hit Bills edge rusher Greg Rousseau on his follow-through, and quickly left the field cradling his throwing hand. Backup Tyler ‘Snoop’ Huntley entered the game, but hurt his toe partway through the second quarter and was ruled out shortly after halftime. Undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano, the Ravens’ emergency No. 3 quarterback, played the rest of the game despite taking several hits from a ferocious Buffalo pass rush.This is a breaking story that will be updated with more information.
