Tyler Huntley Goes Down, Ravens Turn to 7th-Year College Senior Joe Fagnano

The Baltimore Ravens just watched their backup plan go up in smoke. Tyler Huntley is officially out with an in-game injury, forcing the team to hand the offense over to undrafted rookie free agent Joe Fagnano.

If you are frantically searching for Fagnano highlights, you are not alone. The rookie quarterback just spent seven years playing college football, finishing his marathon amateur career at UConn. He was in school so long he probably remembers when the student union did not have Wi-Fi, and now he is taking live NFL snaps.

"Adam Schefter reported: 'Now Tyler “Snoop” Huntley is hurt and has been replaced by undrafted rookie free agent QB Joe Fagnano.'"

This is a brutal break for Huntley. He recently inked a two-year, $11 million deal to be the reliable safety net in Baltimore. Over his seven-year career, Snoop has logged over 3,200 passing yards and proved he can keep the ship afloat. Now, that responsibility falls on a guy who did not even hear his name called on draft weekend.

To be fair to Fagnano, his final college season was objectively hilarious. He threw for 3,448 yards with 28 touchdowns and just a single interception in 2025. That is the kind of stat line you only see when someone plays a football video game on the easiest difficulty setting.

Of course, carving up the defense at Florida Atlantic is a slightly different assignment than staring down an NFL pass rush on a Sunday afternoon. Live bettors holding Baltimore tickets are currently staring at the ceiling, realizing you cannot exactly handicap a game expecting a seventh-year college senior to suddenly take over the huddle.

The Ravens have always treated their backup quarterback spot like a high-wire act, relying on mobility and grit to survive injuries. If Huntley is forced to miss significant time, that safety net is entirely gone.

We will have to wait for the postgame press conference and the inevitable MRI to know exactly how long Huntley will be sidelined. Until then, Fagnano has the ultimate house-money opportunity to prove his ridiculous college numbers can actually translate to the professional level.
