Lamar Jackson may have played his final game for the Baltimore Ravens but head coach Jesse Minter has vowed his team will do everything in our power to keep rolling without their star quarterback.Jacksons return from a high ankle sprain that had sidelined him for three games was supposed to galvanise the Ravens but he lasted just one snap against the Buffalo Bills before leaving the field with a badly damaged thumb on his throwing hand.He did not return and the Ravens capitulated, losing 36-10.It remains unknown whether Jackson broke or dislocated his thumb but Minter admitted it was potentially a season-ending injury. Having been placed on injured reserve, he is definitely out of the next four games.And with Jackson failing to agree a contract extension in the offseason, there is a definite chance he will be traded in 2027, bringing an end to his nine-year spell in Baltimore.The Ravens started the season as second favourites to win the Super Bowl but, at 4-4, their season is on the brink.Well do everything in our power to keep rolling, to keep this thing going, to get it back on the right side with whatever that looks like and whoever thats playing, said Minter.Its definitely my job to make sure that we stay together, that we dont point fingers, that we have each others back, that we believe in the next man up mentality. Its what weve talked about a lot. And sometimes that happens and sometimes it doesnt. So we got to really, really just pour into the belief and believe in the guys that we have and move forward.Ravens have serious QB issuesIt is not certain who the next man up will be at QB.Jacksons back-up Tyler Huntley left the game in the second quarter and did not return due to a toe injury. Third-choice Joe Fagnano stepped in and threw 10-of-21 passes for 91 yards and one interception but was also hit by Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver.Minter is confident Fagnano will play Thursday against the Jacksonville Jaguars if Huntley is ruled out.The Ravens are 7-14 since 2019 in games Jackson has not started and, this season, have managed just six touchdowns in 18 quarters without the two-time NFL MVP.When your backs against the wall and stuff starts hitting the fan, you really find out what this team is made of and certain players are made of, right tackle Roger Rosengarten said.
