The Ravens' QB Room Just Turned Into a Spirit Halloween Store
Tyler Huntley is out for the season with turf toe, joining Lamar Jackson on the shelf and forcing the Ravens to start undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano on Thursday Night Football.

The Baltimore Ravens' quarterback depth chart has officially reached the "is that a real person?" stage of the season.
According to Adam Schefter, tests confirmed that backup quarterback Tyler Huntley suffered a season-ending turf toe injury. This comes right after Lamar Jackson went down indefinitely with a thumb injury on the very first play of their Week 8 disaster against the Buffalo Bills.
"Adam Schefter reported that tests revealed a season-ending turf toe injury for Huntley."
That means the 4-4 Ravens are handing the keys to the franchise to Joe Fagnano. If you are currently opening a new tab to Google who that is, you are not alone. Fagnano is an undrafted rookie who is now tasked with saving Baltimore's season on a short week.
Going from a two-time MVP to a reliable veteran backup to a guy who sounds like a witness in a 1980s mob trial in the span of one afternoon is a brutal pivot. The Ravens managed just 10 points in that 36-10 blowout loss to Buffalo, and now they have to figure out a functional offense in about 72 hours.
To make matters worse, they get to host the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday Night Football. The Jaguars are sitting pretty at 5-2 and just finished dismantling the Indianapolis Colts 42-7. Throwing a third-string rookie into a primetime game against a defense that just spent three hours eating a divisional rival alive is the kind of script that makes oddsmakers pull the board entirely.
Baltimore is currently sitting at the bottom of a loaded AFC North. In a division where the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cincinnati Bengals, and Cleveland Browns all have winning records, trying to tread water with an emergency quarterback is basically impossible.
Fagnano gets the start on Thursday night, but the front office is going to be working the phones aggressively. Expect the Ravens to sign a veteran off the street by Friday morning, assuming they survive the Jacksonville game without needing to ask a fan in the front row to suit up.
