Deadspin: Ravens QB Lamar Jackson injures hand, leaving Bills game early
Injury on opening play
Jackson was hurt on Baltimore’s first offensive play against Buffalo. His right hand made contact with Greg Rousseau’s wrist as he threw an incomplete pass. Jackson held his hand and went to the sideline, where he showed that his thumb was out of place. He was then taken to the locker room and ruled out for the rest of the game.
Jackson’s return interrupted
The game marked Jackson’s return after he missed three games with a left ankle injury. His hand injury ended that return shortly after it began. The article identifies the injured hand as his throwing hand and specifies that it was his right hand.
Huntley takes over
Tyler “Snoop” Huntley replaced Jackson with 10 minutes left in the first quarter. Huntley had started Baltimore’s previous three games. The Ravens went 1-2 across those three games.
