The Ravens made it official before Thursday night's game: Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley are both headed to injured reserve, leaving Baltimore without its QB1 and QB2 for at least the next four games.
Per Yahoo Sports, Jackson lands on IR with a thumb injury while Huntley is dealing with turf toe. To fill the void, Baltimore signed former UFL quarterback Austin Reed to the 53-man roster just days after adding him this week. Reed is set to back up Joe Fagnano, who gets the start under center Thursday night — a quarterback room nobody had on their preseason bingo card.
The corresponding moves didn't stop there. Per Yahoo Sports, the team also elevated kicker Jake Moody and Adisa Isaac for the Week 9 contest, rounding out a flurry of pregame roster activity.
The IR designations mean Jackson and Huntley must each miss a minimum of four games before they're eligible to return, turning a short-term absence into a defined stretch of the season. For a Baltimore team built around Jackson's dual-threat play, the next month just became a very different kind of test.
