Lamar Jackson’s Return Turns Scary As QB Taken Out After Injury Blow on Opening Play

In 2008, the New England Patriots had a reigning record-setting quarterback and a season full of promise. Then Tom Brady took a hit to the knee in the opener, and everything changed. The NFL knows what a franchise quarterback’s absence costs, and the Baltimore Ravens got an uncomfortable reminder of it with Lamar Jackson. On Sunday, the Ravens faced the Buffalo Bills in Week 8. Unfortunately, Jackson, who was returning from an injury, left the game after taking a blow to his throwing hand on the opening play of his return.
