Jaguars vs. Ravens live updates, inactives, where to watch: Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville visit Baltimore as joe Fagnano starts in place of Lamar Jackson on 'Thursday Night Football'
The Jaguars and Ravens will open up Week 9 on "Thursday Night Football."
The Jacksonville Jaguars and Baltimore Ravens are set to face off in a Thursday Night Football matchup on September 21, 2023, at M&T Bank Stadium. The game kicks off at 8:15 p.m. ET.
The Jaguars, currently leading the AFC South with a 5-2 record, will rely on their star quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Lawrence has an impressive season stat sheet, boasting a 112.6 passer rating and an 8.6% touchdown rate. He remains the league's top passer.
On the other side, the Ravens find themselves in a tricky situation without their two-time MVP quarterback, Lamar Jackson. Jackson is currently on the injured reserve list due to a thumb injury. Backup Tyler Huntley, who briefly took over last week when Jackson was sidelined, is also out with a season-ending toe injury. This leaves rookie Joe Fagnano as the starting quarterback for Baltimore in this crucial game.
However, optimism for the Ravens may be on the horizon as they are reportedly in talks to acquire veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett from the Arizona Cardinals. Brissett, who lost his starting job to Gardner Minshew in Week 8, has shown his value by leading Arizona to a victory against the Dallas Cowboys. Once the deal is finalized, Brissett will have the opportunity to make an impact for the Ravens in this high-stakes Thursday Night Football showdown.
