Quick Summary

Lamar Jackson exited Baltimore's game against the Buffalo Bills immediately after suffering a right thumb injury on the team’s opening play when linebacker Greg Rousseau made contact with his hand. Despite earlier returning from a high-ankle sprain that kept him out for three games, Jackson left the game due to pain in his thumb and did not return. Tyler Huntley replaced Jackson as quarterback; the Ravens fell behind 10-0 late in the first quarter and punted on their next two possessions.

Story summary

Lamar Jackson, the two-time NFL MVP quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was ruled out of Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills after injuring his right thumb on his first play back following a three-game absence due to a high-ankle sprain. On his first throw, Jackson’s hand hit defensive end Greg Rousseau’s arm, causing significant pain and leading him to immediately leave the field. The team later confirmed that Jackson would undergo surgery, which could potentially end his season early. Backup quarterback Tyler Huntley, who initially took over for Jackson, also left the game with a toe injury. This forced rookie undrafted quarterback Joe Fagnano into action as the third-stringer. The Ravens ultimately lost the game 36-10 and now sit at 4-4 in last place in the AFC North.

🔮 As Samantha ran toward where Judge was positioned with the spectators, he waved at his wife and pointed so Nora could see, too, and when the pair met Samantha near the finish, he was wearing an Air Jordan shirt. Judge has supported Samantha at marathons before, as she also ran the NYC Marathon in 2025, 2023 and 2022, too.
🔮 He’ll be owed $50.3 million, the outlet added, and Rick Stockstill, a former Middle Tennessee head coach and currently an offensive analyst for the Seminoles, will serve as their interim coach for the remainder of the season.
🔮 Reese, in the aftermath of their 68-63 loss in Game 7 to the Valkyries on Saturday, used the phrase “delayed not denied” to reiterate that Atlanta will return to the league’s ultimate stage.
🔮 The Eagles, given their 2-5 record, might end up trading players ahead of the trade deadline, but Saquon Barkley won’t be one of them.
🔮 If it’s a post-up game or something like that, OK, maybe, I don’t know.
🔮 They didn’t find “that gear” — the one they needed to overpower opponents, the one that defined their sprint through May and June — until the fourth quarter.
🔮 “What I would say is when we’re going through the process, the process is so thorough that — or our process I feel like is thorough — that it may not be for today,” Schoen said of what changed.
🔮 McCarthy said his tradition will continue for the rest of his career, though it’s “strictly” reserved for Stroud, maybe Dolphins backup Kyle McCord and then Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day if he ever “comes up to the NFL.”
🔮 The next test for the Rangers’ perfect home record — the next possibility to play spoiler to a start nearing the point of being a historic one — will involve a pair of Garden returns.
🔮 For the second consecutive year, James Reimer turned a PTO into an NHL deal — and this one will help the Rangers’ goaltending puzzle.

Narrative

Jackson, who missed the last three games with a high-ankle sprain before returning Sunday, exited after Baltimore’s first offensive snap against the Bills with a right thumb injury and was ruled out for the rest of the game. After dropping back and attempting a throw, Bills outside linebacker Greg Rousseau made contact with Jackson’s right hand and he rushed toward the quarterback, and Jackson immediately walked toward the sideline. He then went to the locker room with a towel over his right hand. Jackson recorded seven total touchdowns across the Ravens’ opening four games before his ankle injury, and he admitted last week to reporters that he wasn’t pain-free in his ankle — but still planned to try playing.
