BAL signs QB Kedon Slovis from GB practice squad
Key Points:
- The Baltimore Ravens face a quarterback crisis with Lamar Jackson out for the season due to a thumb injury, backup Tyler Huntley sidelined with a toe injury, and rookie Joe Fagnano dealing with an ankle issue, leading to Kedon Slovis being signed from the Packers practice squad as a potential starter or backup.
- Head coach Jesse Minter confirmed Joe Fagnano will start in Week 9 against the Jaguars, despite his physical limitations, while the Ravens may continue to seek additional quarterbacks via trade or further signings.
- The Ravens offense is expected to be run-heavy against Jacksonville, one of the league's best run defenses, making it difficult to trust Ravens skill players as fantasy options currently.
- The Dallas Cowboys are not pursuing a trade for wide receiver George Pickens, who remains a key but underutilized target, with team owner Jerry Jones advocating for more involvement in the offense.
- The Arizona Cardinals placed running back Jeremiyah Love on injured reserve with a high-ankle sprain, leaving Tyler Allgeier and Evan Hull as the only healthy backs, while the Raiders continue to adjust their backfield usage amid poor rushing efficiency.
