Baltimore's quarterback room is running on fumes heading into a short week. Joe Fagnano is dealing with an ankle injury, and head coach Jesse Minter said Monday the QB has "a chance" to play Thursday night against the Jaguars, per ESPN.

Minter didn't sugarcoat the situation — Fagnano is "fighting through a couple things," the coach said, per NBC Sports. The quarterback hurt the ankle in Baltimore's last game, and with only three days of runway before kickoff, his availability will likely come down to how the ankle responds in a compressed practice week.

The bigger problem is depth. The Ravens are short on healthy quarterbacks as Thursday approaches, which turns Fagnano's status from a standard Week 9 injury note into a genuine crisis point. If he can't go, Baltimore would be scrambling for a viable starter on the NFL's least forgiving schedule turnaround.

Short weeks are brutal for lower-body injuries — there's no time for the usual Wednesday-to-Friday progression from limited to full participation. Expect the Ravens to carry this decision deep into the week, with Fagnano's pregame workout potentially settling it. Jacksonville, meanwhile, prepares for two different quarterbacks.
