Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson saw his return from injury cut short after just one offensive snap against the Buffalo Bills, bild.de reported.
Jackson returned to the lineup Sunday after missing three games due to an ankle injury. On Baltimore’s opening offensive snap, Jackson dropped back to pass toward wide receiver Zay Flowers. During the throwing motion, Jackson’s right throwing hand collided forcefully with Buffalo pass-rusher Greg Rousseau. Jackson immediately aborted the play and headed straight for the sideline.
The Ravens initially listed their quarterback as questionable to return due to a right thumb injury before medical staff ruled him out for the remainder of the contest.
Huntley Follows Jackson to the Sideline With Toe Injury
The situation in Baltimore deteriorated further when Huntley entered the game in relief of Jackson. Huntley sustained a toe injury, prompting team medical staff to also designate him as questionable to return. With both the starter and the backup banged up within minutes of each other, the coaching staff had to dig deep into the roster depth chart.
Fagnano Thrust Into Emergency Quarterback Duty
Joe Fagnano found himself thrust onto the field to direct the offense. The 25-year-old undrafted quarterback entered the game as the team’s designated emergency quarterback number three. Should Fagnano also have been forced out of the contest, Baltimore had running back Justice Hill designated as the emergency option to take direct snaps.
Next Steps for the Ravens Roster
The team has not yet released a definitive recovery timeline for either quarterback ahead of their next scheduled fixture.
