What happened: CBS Sports' Brandon McIntyre said, "I don't think Lamar Jackson plays for Baltimore ever again." Jackson is listed Out with a right thumb injury. Coach Jesse Minter said after Sunday's 36-10 loss to the Bills that Jackson will undergo surgery and go on injured reserve, per Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun.

Why it matters: Baltimore sits at 4-4 after three straight losses and is 10th in the seed race. Minter has dismissed talk of Jackson's departure, and the Ravens have inquired about replacement quarterbacks.

By the numbers: Jackson has completed 68 of 97 passes for 967 yards with 6 touchdowns and 1 interception in 2026 through 5 games.

What to watch: The NFL trade window closes Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET, the deadline for any quarterback move.
