  "account": "The Baltimore Ravens have announced that rookie quarterback Joe Fagnano will start in their Week 9 primetime matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to head coach Jesse Minter. This is a significant decision, as it follows the team's struggles at the quarterback position in recent weeks.\n\nOn Sunday, starting quarterback Lamar Jackson suffered a thumb injury on his first play back after missing three games due to an ankle issue. Backup QB Tyler Huntley then took over but suffered a turf toe injury, leaving the team without a healthy QB for the remainder of the game. Undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano entered the game as the third-string option, but he too left the field with an ankle injury.\n\nDespite these setbacks, Fagnano managed to practice with a brace on Tuesday. In a post-practice press conference, Minter confirmed that Fagnano would be the starting quarterback for the upcoming game. He will be supported by backups Kedon Slovis and Austin Reed, both of whom were added to the roster following Sunday's injuries to Jackson and Huntley.\n\nThe Jaguars' Week 9 game against the Ravens is scheduled to tip off at 8:15 p.m. ET.",
