Ravens star Lamar Jackson’s injury return still a possibility but comes with a Jacoby Brissett caveat

Baltimore Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson could still return before the end of the 2026 NFL season despite undergoing thumb surgery, but his chances of playing again may depend on whether newly acquired quarterback Jacoby Brissett can keep the team in playoff contention. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported Saturday via X, formerly known as Twitter, that Jackson’s potential return remains a possibility following Baltimore’s 33-10 Week 9 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday Night Football.
