Tyler Huntley injury update: MRI for turf toe, status for Week 9 TNF vs. Jaguars uncertain
Ravens backup Tyler Huntley is believed to have turf toe and will have an MRI after leaving Sunday's loss to the Bills.
The Ravens’ quarterback situation is uncertain ahead of Thursday night’s game against the Jaguars. Tyler Huntley is believed to have turf toe and will have an MRI to determine the extent of the injury, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Huntley entered Sunday’s loss at Buffalo after Lamar Jackson injured his throwing hand on the first snap of the game. He left in the second quarter with a toe injury and did not return.
Context
Huntley has played four games this season. He has 727 passing yards, four passing touchdowns, one interception, 76 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. He has 57.7 PPR points, or 14.4 per game. In Week 7, he threw for 298 yards and a touchdown with one interception, adding 12 rushing yards.
The Ravens also lost Lamar Jackson. He sustained a right thumb injury on the first play Sunday. Head coach Jesse Minter said Jackson could miss the rest of the season after having surgery. Rookie Joe Fagnano finished the game and went 10-of-21 for 91 yards and an interception. The Ravens do not have a quarterback on the practice squad.
Depth chart
Skylar Thompson is listed third on the depth chart and is on injured reserve. Aaron Bailey is fourth and has not played this season. Joe Fagnano is also listed fourth. He finished Sunday’s game and went 10-of-21 for 91 yards and an interception. If Huntley is unavailable, the Ravens may need to add a quarterback before Thursday’s game.
Timeline
On Nov. 1, an earlier report said Lamar Jackson was back for Week 8 after missing three weeks with an ankle sprain. The Ravens had officially listed him as available.
On Nov. 2, an earlier report said the Ravens lost their top two quarterbacks and were playing undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano at halftime. Jackson left with a right thumb injury after his first play, and Huntley left in the second quarter with a toe injury.
What’s next
The Ravens play the Jaguars on Thursday night in Week 9. Huntley’s status for that game is uncertain, according to Tom Pelissero of Netflix.

🏈 Fantasy impact
Tyler Huntley has been a streamable QB2 when healthy, but managers cannot count on him for Thursday against the Jaguars. The MRI will determine the extent of his injury. If Huntley cannot play, Joe Fagnano would likely start, but he produced only 91 passing yards and an interception against the Bills. He is not a fantasy option. Lamar Jackson may miss the rest of the season, so he is a drop in redraft leagues. The Ravens’ pass catchers lose value with Fagnano under center. If you need a quarterback for Week 9, look for another streaming option, such as a quarterback facing a weaker defense. Drop Lamar Jackson in redraft leagues where injured reserve spots are unavailable, and do not start any Ravens quarterback this week.
