Overview
- On Sunday, Lamar Jackson injured his right (throwing) thumb on his first pass after returning from an ankle issue and coach Jesse Minter said the injury will require surgery and an IR placement.
- Backup Tyler Huntley left the same game with turf toe and undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano is dealing with an ankle issue but was listed as limited and may still have a chance to play this week.
- The Ravens moved quickly to add depth, signing Austin Reed to the practice squad and signing Kedon Slovis off the Green Bay Packers’ practice squad to their 53‑man roster.
- Media reports and team insiders say Baltimore is expected to explore veteran quarterback trades ahead of the Nov. 10 deadline, with names such as Tyson Bagent, Jacoby Brissett and Anthony Richardson mentioned by pundits.
- The injuries leave the Ravens 4-4 and on a three‑game losing streak, create at least a four‑game absence under IR rules, and raise pressing questions about the team’s short‑term playoff chances and Lamar Jackson’s long‑term availability given his contract and cap implications.
