Two quarterbacks to injured reserve; surgery confirmed for Jackson
The Baltimore Ravens placed Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley on injured reserve Thursday, a move that removes both quarterbacks from the roster for at least the next four games. Head coach Jesse Minter confirmed that Jackson will require surgery.
Immediate lineup shifts for Thursday night
With Jackson and Huntley unavailable, the Ravens will start third-string rookie Joe Fagnano against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night. The team promoted Austin Reed from the practice squad to the 53-man roster; Reed will back up Fagnano for the game.
Roster and depth implications
Isaac has reached the maximum of three standard gameday elevations. If the Ravens want to use him in additional games this season, they must sign him to the active roster.
Moody will make his Ravens debut in place of Tyler Loop, who was moved to injured reserve after aggravating a groin injury in Week 8.
Trade chatter and short-term projections
Yardbarker reported the Ravens are finalizing a trade to acquire Jacoby Brissett (a rumor) and projected that, if the trade occurs, Brissett would likely start in Week 10 — a projection, not a confirmed plan.
