Lamar Jackson Ravens © ImagnLamar Jackson returned for the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday after a three-game absence due to a high-ankle sprain. However, the return was short-lived after the quarterback suffered a fresh injury. On the first snap of what turned into a 36-10 loss, he hit his thumb on Buffalo Bills outside linebacker Greg Rousseau’s hand while attempting a pass.Jackson left and did not return as Tyler Huntley took over.Retired three-time Super Bowl champion Shannon Sharpe believes that the franchise should consider a rebuild given their 4-4 mark.“Ravens should become sellers on Tue,” Sharpe wrote on X. “They’re not going anywhere. Start the rebuild 4 next season. This has been a very disappointing yr and it’s only half over.”When a fan asked Sharpe who the Ravens should trade, he responded that Lamar Jackson, Zay Flowers and Kyle Hamilton should be the only ones off the chopping block.“Any1 except Jackson, Flowers and Hamilton,” Sharpe wrote.Last season, Lamar Jackson was limited to just 13 games after multiple injuries. He posted 2,549 passing yards and 21 TDs as the Ravens finished 8-9 and without a playoff appearance. This year, the quarterback has just played in four games, putting up 967 passing yards and six TDs.Ravens coach Jesse Minter provides update on Lamar Jackson’s injuryDuring Sunday’s postgame presser, Ravens coach Jesse Minter shared an update regarding Lamar Jackson’s injury. He said the quarterback will be placed on the injured reserve because he will have to undergo surgery on his right thumb.“When you lose your quarterback early, we lost him on the first play,” Minter said. “That will be a surgery deal. He’ll go to IR. It’s a tough deal. And then the next guy as well. I thought Joe (Fagnano) came in, to his credit, not getting a lot of reps and preparation, hung in there and did some good stuff.“It’s a short week. It’s an opportunity again to stick together, work together and figure out what we have available. And we’ll try to put the best play out there for this short week.”Being on the injured reserve means that Lamar Jackson will miss the next four games. However, Jesse Minter did not provide a specific timeline for his return.The Ravens next face the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday at 8:15 p.m. ET.Also Read:“Nick Sirianni Must Be Fired Immediately,” “Trade Everyone”: Eagles Fans Want To Clean House After Humiliating 38–21 Loss to Cowboys“Eagles Got Another Dude Out Here Risking Serious Injury”: NFL Analyst Rips Nick Sirianni’s Team on Playing Injured Saquon Barkley Amid Jalen Hurts RowCollege Sports Network has you covered with the latest news, analysis, insights, and trending stories in tennis, college football, men’s college basketball, women’s college basketball, and college baseball!
