Lamar Jackson Injury: Can the Ravens Still Make the Playoffs Without Him?

Can the Baltimore Ravens still make the playoffs after Lamar Jackson's thumb injury, or has their 2026 season taken a decisive turn? Jackson suffered a throwing-hand injury on his first offensive play back against the Buffalo Bills after missing three games with an ankle injury. He now faces surgery and at least four games on injured reserve, with a season-ending absence possible. Tyler Huntley's toe injury leaves rookie Joe Fagnano as Baltimore's potential starter against Jacksonville. With the Ravens at 4-4 and last in the AFC North, the quarterback situation threatens their playoff chances. The injuries also affect fantasy football expectations for Zay Flowers and Baltimore's other receivers, while raising bigger questions about Jackson's long-term availability and the Ravens' Super Bowl prospects.
