Ravens set to give Joe Fagnano his first career start at QB with Jackson and Huntley injured

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Fagnano is set to make his first career start against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night, as injured Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley will not play. Coach Jesse Minter revealed that Fagnano would take the position due to his performance in recent games. The 25-year-old rookie, who has an ankle injury, made his NFL debut last Sunday after both Jackson and Huntley left the game with injuries.

Fagnano acknowledged the emotional weight of the situation, expressing his admiration for Jackson and Huntley. He has 10 starts in college football, playing for UConn and Maine, before being signed by the Ravens without being drafted. With only Fagnano, Kedon Slovis, and Austin Reed available to start, the Ravens face a short week due to the need to prepare for Jacksonville.
