Jesse Minter: Injuries like Lamar Jackson's typically take 6-10 weeks to heal
Key Points:
- Ravens coach Jesse Minter issued an unusual written statement updating quarterback Lamar Jackson’s recovery from a broken and dislocated thumb suffered in Week 8.
- Minter noted that Jackson’s injury typically requires 6-10 weeks to heal post-surgery, and his return will depend on his recovery progress.
- The Ravens rarely release injury updates via a head coach’s written statement, making this communication method atypical.
- Jackson’s potential return between Weeks 14 and 18 may come too late for the Ravens to remain playoff contenders, possibly ending his 2026 season early.
