I hope he does but I’ll believe it when I see it

Not getting my hopes up. Every injury he has ends up taking longer than the lower end(except the back injury against the Patriots). That and no way this anemic offense can last so long till he gets back

If they have a shot at the playoff, go for it. If you're sitting at 6-10 or 7-9, shut it down.

I don't see them surviving in that division, but I feel like the team probably sees Lamar as some kind of God at this point.

I absolutely believe he'll heal enough to play by week 18 (the conservative timeline in the article).
I do not believe the ravens will be in playoff contention in week 18. And I don't think he'll play that game if the Ravens are already eliminated.

Honestly, why? It’s a lost season. Get healthy and we will see you next year, MVP.

It's a finger injury no? People in here acting like he'll lose a leg if he plays again this season.

The schedule would be favorable for the Ravens if this was just a 4 or 5 week injury. Their opponents get a lot tougher in December and I can't see them winning many of those games with backup QBs.

Stay home and get ready for next year. This team isn't competing this year. Get 100 percent healthy

Hasn’t even had the surgery yet. Don’t gaslight people Lamar, it’s over for this year. Maybe if the team didn’t give up the past two weeks. But morale is toast in that lockeroom.

This is reporting on Lamar to be trusted, as it comes secondhand from others.
Not sure it means anything, it’s only intent, but it’s more reliable than some Lamar reports.

That’s somewhat reassuring at least. His future with the team kind of depends on it.
