Ravens add possible starting QB just two days ahead of Week 9 showdown with Jaguars
Key Points:
- The Baltimore Ravens face a critical quarterback shortage ahead of their Thursday night game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, with uncertainty over who will start due to multiple injuries.
- Lamar Jackson is out with a thumb injury, backup Tyler Huntley is sidelined with a toe injury, and undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano, who played most of Sunday’s game, is dealing with an ankle injury but may still start.
- The Ravens signed Kedon Slovis from the Packers' practice squad and added Austin Reed to their practice squad as emergency options; neither has significant NFL starting experience.
- Adrian Martinez, a 2024 UFL MVP with minimal NFL experience, was brought in for a workout but has not been signed.
- The Ravens’ quarterback room now consists solely of undrafted players with very limited game experience, forcing the team to potentially start a quarterback with only two career passes thrown.
