Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson’s thumb surgery reshapes Thursday’s Jaguars matchup and beyond.
The Ravens are assessing backup QB Tyler Huntley for a suspected turf‑toe injury after he left the Week 8 loss to Buffalo with a hit. An MRI on Monday will determine his availability for Thursday’s Thanksgiving game against Jacksonville. With starter Lamar Jackson headed to IR for thumb surgery, Huntley was slated to start, but the diagnosis could sideline him for Week 9 and beyond. Undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano, who threw for 91 yards and an interception on Sunday, is expected to make his first NFL start against a Jaguars run‑heavy defense that has struggled against the pass.

While no formal contact with the Browns has been confirmed, Sanders’ availability could give the Ravens a new starter amid a growing QB crisis.
Derrick Henry scores his 40th rushing touchdown for Baltimore, joining Marshall Faulk and Marcus Allen as the only players with 40+ rush TDs for two franchises.
