Who is Ravens' Joe Fagnano? Baltimore turns to third QB after Lamar Jackson, Tyler Huntley injuries

Key Points:

• The Ravens faced severe quarterback challenges in Week 8 against the Bills, as starter Lamar Jackson injured his thumb on the first play, and backup Tyler Huntley suffered a foot injury in the second quarter.
• Rookie third-string quarterback Joe Fagnano, an undrafted free agent from UConn, made his NFL debut, completing 10-of-12 passes for 91 yards with one interception over roughly 2.5 quarters.
• Fagnano, a 25-year-old rookie, began his college career at Maine as a walk-on, eventually earning a scholarship and notable success, including a five-touchdown game in his first collegiate start.
• After transferring to UConn and overcoming injuries, Fagnano impressed in 2024 and 2025 seasons with strong statistics, catching the Ravens' attention during a rookie tryout and preseason performance.
• His preseason success, including a nearly 75% completion rate and three touchdowns, earned him a spot with Baltimore, where he now serves as an emergency quarterback amid injuries to the team's top two QBs.
