Announcement and Preparation
Baltimore will start rookie quarterback Joe Fagnano on Thursday night against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Coach Jesse Minter made the decision public Tuesday after earlier indicating only that the quarterback had a chance to play despite an ankle issue. Fagnano appeared at a recent practice wearing a brace on the injured ankle.
Injuries Force Roster Moves
The team placed Lamar Jackson on injured reserve because of a right thumb injury that will require surgery. Tyler Huntley was also ruled out for the Thursday night game with a toe injury. To provide depth behind Fagnano, the Ravens signed quarterback Kedon Slovis from the Green Bay Packers practice squad. They added Austin Reed to their own practice squad on Monday.
Historical Context
Fagnano becomes the second undrafted rookie quarterback to start a game for the Ravens in the franchise 32-year history.
