Latest (Nov. 6): Tyler Huntley is out for the season with turf toe, Joe Fagnano started Thursday’s 33-10 loss to Jacksonville, and the Ravens are trading for veteran Jacoby Brissett, who is expected to start on Nov. 16. Full story.
Update: Our earlier look at the Ravens’ QB options said no signing had been reported. That has changed. Baltimore has added two quarterbacks, but it still had not named a starter for Thursday night’s game against the Jaguars as of Tuesday.
Where things stand
| Quarterback | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Lamar Jackson | Thumb surgery, injured reserve | Out "potentially" for the season |
| Tyler Huntley | Toe injury | Prognosis unclear |
| Joe Fagnano | Ankle injury, practiced Tuesday in a brace | Undrafted rookie; 10 of 21 for 91 yards and an interception vs. Buffalo |
| Austin Reed | Signed to the practice squad Monday | 26; has never thrown an NFL pass |
| Kedon Slovis | Added from the Packers’ practice squad | Has never started an NFL game |
Baltimore also worked out free-agent quarterback Adrian Martinez, who has played in one NFL game, according to reports from the team’s beat writers.
What happened
- Monday: The Ravens signed Reed to the practice squad. He played at Western Kentucky in 2022 and 2023 and was in Baltimore’s training camp this summer. He worked with offensive coordinator Declan Doyle in Chicago.
- Tuesday: Baltimore brought in Slovis from Green Bay’s practice squad. CBS Sports reported that the Ravens settled on Reed and Slovis after not getting a trade done.
Counting Fagnano, the three quarterbacks have combined for three career NFL appearances.
Who could start?
- Fagnano has the most reps in the system and has already played. If his ankle holds up, Doyle can build the game plan around him.
- Reed or Slovis could start if Fagnano can’t go. Neither has started an NFL game, and both have only a few days to learn the offense.
- A trade is still possible before the Nov. 10 deadline, but it would not help on Thursday. See our trade deadline guide.
The matchup
Jacksonville (5-2) is an 8.5-point favorite, and the total has dropped from 49.5 to 43.5. Baltimore is 4-4, on a three-game losing streak, and is the AFC’s No. 10 seed. Full details are in our Jaguars vs. Ravens preview.
Kickoff: Thursday, Nov. 5, 8:15 pm ET on Prime Video (6:45 am Friday in Sri Lanka and India).
