Ravens Lose Both QBs on Opening Plays as Emergency Quarterback Enters

A right-hand injury to Lamar Jackson and a toe issue for Tyler Huntley forced Baltimore to turn to an undrafted emergency quarterback and exposed an acute depth crisis for the team.

Overview

  • On Sunday Lamar Jackson left after the first offensive snap after his right throwing hand hit Bills pass-rusher Greg Rousseau and he was later ruled out with a right-thumb/hand injury.
  • Tyler Huntley replaced Jackson but developed a toe problem and was listed questionable, removing Baltimore’s planned two-QB rotation from play.
  • Undrafted 25-year-old Joe Fagnano, listed as the emergency third-string quarterback, was forced into action when both Jackson and Huntley were sidelined.
  • Running back Justice Hill has been designated as the contingency emergency passer if Fagnano cannot continue, a last-resort measure that underscores the severity of the roster gap.
  • Jackson’s one-play exit ended an attempted comeback after a three-game ankle absence and leaves the Ravens facing immediate game-plan changes, pending medical updates and likely short-term roster moves.
