Lamar Jackson's message to teammates: Stay alive, and I'll be back

Jackson is out 6-9 weeks after thumb surgery, and Baltimore added veteran Jacoby Brissett to keep its playoff hopes alive.

  • Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson aims to return this season following a fractured and dislocated thumb, telling teammates to "just stay alive" while he recovers over six to nine weeks.
  • The Ravens have lost four straight games and fallen to 4-5 after Thursday's 33-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, marking their third consecutive defeat by at least 20 points.
  • Baltimore acquired veteran Jacoby Brissett from the Arizona Cardinals on Friday to replace third-stringer Joe Fagnano, who threw 60 yards and two interceptions on 18 attempts in Thursday's loss.
  • If Brissett maintains competitiveness, the Ravens could reach the playoffs by early January, facing the Chargers, Carolina Panthers, and Houston Texans before their Week 13 bye.
  • Teammates described Jackson's message as "energizing" and "exciting," providing a rallying point for a locker room that previously feared his season was over.
