Shannon Sharpe hinted that Shedeur Sanders could be the perfect QB solution for the Baltimore Ravens after Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley were injured.
On the November 2nd episode of “Nightcap,” Sharpe told co-host Chad Johnson (better known as Ochocinco), “I know a guy who’d been a great situation for.”
To this, Ocho replied, “2? You talking about 2?”

Lamar Jackson Injury Leaves Ravens Desperate for QB Help

Baltimore’s QB crisis began on Sunday, November 1, when Jackson injured his thumb on the opening play against the Buffalo Bills. He’d just returned after missing three games with a high-ankle sprain, but his comeback lasted only one snap.
Jackson hurt his hand after it struck Bills’ DE Greg Rousseau’s helmet. HC Jesse Minter subsequently confirmed that the QB needs surgery and will be placed on IR.
NFL insiders Tom Pelissero and Adam Schefter also reported the development on Sunday.
“Ravens QB Lamar Jackson needs surgery on his thumb and is going on injured reserve, coach Jesse Minter told reporters,” Pelissero wrote on X.
Schefter separately confirmed: “Ravens QB Lamar Jackson needs thumb surgery and will be placed on injured reserve.”
What’s more, backup Huntley also exited with a toe injury, forcing the Ravens to turn to undrafted rookie Joey Fagnano, who’d been listed as their emergency third-string QB.
Shedeur Sanders Trade Speculation Gains Momentum
The possibility of Sanders joining Baltimore gained all the more attention when NFL insider Jordan Schultz’s reported that the Ravens could explore QB options in the coming days.
Sanders has previously been linked to trade speculation after falling behind Deshaun Watson in Cleveland’s QB picture. That said, a move to Baltimore could potentially give him another opportunity to compete for a starting job.
However, as of yet, there’s no confirmed report that the Ravens have contacted the Browns about Sanders. The fact that both teams play in the AFC North could also complicate negotiations.
