The Baltimore Ravens are facing a quarterback crisis ahead of their Thursday night game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. With Lamar Jackson (right thumb) and Tyler Huntley (toe) ruled out, third-string quarterback Joe Fagnano is dealing with an ankle injury but is expected to have a chance to play. Coach Jesse Minter noted Fagnano is fighting through his issues and was a limited participant in practice.
If Fagnano plays, he would become the second undrafted rookie quarterback to start for the Ravens in their 32-year history. The only healthy quarterback on the roster is Austin Reed, who was signed to the practice squad. Minter indicated the team will finalize their quarterback decision in the next day or two.
Jackson's injury is potentially season-ending, and he is set to go on injured reserve without surgery yet. Huntley will also miss the game. The Ravens, who have lost three straight games, are also dealing with kicker Tyler Loop's groin injury, with Jake Moody likely to start.
Baltimore is currently an 8.5-point underdog against the Jaguars.
