Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson will be placed on injured reserve because of a thumb injury that requires surgery, according to Yahoo Sports. The team's decision was reported Monday, November 2, 2026, as part of Yahoo Sports' live coverage of NFL news.
Jackson's absence is expected to reshape the Ravens' season, and Yahoo Sports notes it also carries implications for the fantasy value of pass catchers such as Zay Flowers. ESPN separately reported that Jackson needs the thumb procedure and will land on IR.
The same Yahoo Sports roundup reported that Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell was taken to a hospital to be evaluated for a neck injury. Further details on his condition were not included in the reporting.
The two injuries landed on the same day and affect opposite sides of the ball. Jackson's move to injured reserve removes Baltimore's starting quarterback from the lineup for at least the minimum IR stay, while Campbell's status depends on the results of his hospital evaluation.
Other items in the Yahoo Sports coverage included trade deadline rumors involving the Chicago Bears, with Windy City Gridiron reporting on Khalil Mack and Tyson Bagent.
What to watch next: the Ravens' timeline for Jackson's surgery and recovery, and word from Detroit on Campbell's evaluation.
