Ravens Share Concerning Quarterback News Ahead of 'TNF'
The Ravens quarterback room has been hit with the injury bug ahead of Thursday night's game versus the Jaguars.
The Baltimore Ravens face an uncertain future at the quarterback position, with their star player Lamar Jackson sidelined for at least four games due to a thumb injury sustained on Sunday. Jackson's backup, Tyler Huntley, also went down with a turf toe injury in the same game, though his long-term prognosis remains unclear. Coach Jesse Minter expressed concerns about Huntley's availability, citing the team's tight schedule and the upcoming Thursday night game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
In addition to Jackson and Huntley, third-string quarterback Joe Fagnano suffered an ankle injury, further complicating the Ravens' quarterback situation. Minter hinted that Fagnano may not play on Thursday as well, though he remains hopeful for a chance. In a scramble to address the quarterback crisis, the Ravens signed rookie Austin Reed to the practice squad on Monday, potentially elevating him as Fagnano's backup.
Reed, previously on Baltimore's practice squad during the preseason, was cut before the 2026 season before being picked up by the Chicago Bears as an undrafted free agent in 2024. With the season in full swing, the Ravens must aggressively explore trade options to bolster their quarterback depth, especially in preparation for a challenging matchup against a formidable Jacksonville Jaguars team.
