The Baltimore Ravens’ quarterback situation just went from bad to worse, then straight into full-blown nightmare territory, all before halftime. Starting QB Lamar Jackson was ruled out on the very first offensive play of the game with a right thumb injury. He’s not coming back. Now, his backup, Tyler Huntley, is questionable to return after injuring his toe.
Down to the Emergency QB Before Halftime
Huntley went down hard in the second quarter, taking a brutal hit from Bills defensive lineman Ed Oliver that twisted his toe. Just like that, the Ravens were forced to turn to undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano, their emergency third quarterback, who entered the game with a full 9:39 left on the clock in the second quarter. Think about that: two QBs gone before the half is even over! Huntley wasn’t exactly lighting it up before the injury, going 2-of-4 for no yards. Jackson managed just one incompletion on his single play. The Bills are currently leading 13-7, but even they aren’t totally unscathed, with wide receiver Josh Palmer doubtful to return due to a right hamstring injury.
What a wild, brutal start to this game. You just hate to see injuries derail a game like this, especially for an entire quarterback room. It’s a scramble for the Ravens now, with their season potentially on the line, trying to pull off a miracle with an emergency QB.
