The Baltimore Ravens fall to a 4-4 record after suffering a 36-10 Week 8 loss to the Buffalo Bills. It was a tough outing for the club, as Lamar Jackson sustained a hand injury early in the contest, forcing Tyler Huntley to enter the game. Unfortunately, he too was dealt an injury (lower-body), and now his diagnosis suggests he may have to miss several weeks.
Reports indicate that the 28-year-old signal-caller is likely dealing with turf toe, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. An MRI scheduled for Monday will determine exactly how long Huntley will be out, while the Ravens have already placed Jackson on the IR.
“Ravens QB Tyler ‘Snoop' Huntley suffered what is thought to be a turf toe injury today at Buffalo, per source,” Schefter reported. “He is expected to undergo an MRI tomorrow to determine how much time, if any, he could miss. Ravens QB Lamar Jackson already is being placed on IR due to a thumb injury.”
Huntley stepped onto the field after the first offensive play of the game, as Jackson sustained a thumb injury after accidentally hitting his hand against a Bills defender's helmet. But Huntley was not on the field long either, as he was removed after completing two of his four pass attempts for zero yards. Emergency third-string quarterback Joey Fagnano finished the day with 91 yards and an interception with a 47.6% completion percentage.
Tyler Huntley started three games for the Ravens while Jackson was dealing with an ankle injury he sustained in the 24-18 Week 4 win over the Tennessee Titans. With Huntley likely out for some time, the Ravens may have to get creative addressing the quarterback situation moving forward. Especially considering Lamar Jackson's new thumb injury could knock him out for multiple weeks as well.
