Report: Ravens QB Lamar Jackson plans to return this season

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has informed teammates of his intention to play again during the 2026 campaign despite undergoing a procedure on his right thumb. Jackson suffered the injury on the opening offensive play against the Buffalo Bills when his throwing hand struck defender Gregory Rousseau's helmet, following a previous ankle issue.

Head coach Jesse Minter and other observers note that his potential comeback could hinge on whether newly acquired quarterback Jacoby Brissett manages to keep the squad in the playoff race during this break before facing the Los Angeles Chargers.
