Baltimore Ravens have named quarterback Joe Fagnano as their starting player for the first time in his career. The decision comes after injuries to starting quarterback Lamar Jackson and backup Tyler Huntley. Fagnano, a third-year player, will lead the team in its Thursday night game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Ravens’ coaching staff made the change following a medical evaluation of Jackson and Huntley. Both players sustained injuries during training camp, leaving the team without a healthy starter. Fagnano, who has previously served as a backup, will now take on the role of starting quarterback. This marks a significant moment in his career, as he will be under the spotlight for the first time.
Fagnano joined the Ravens in 2022 as an undrafted free agent. He has shown promise in limited playing time, often stepping in during practice sessions and game backups. The team has not released specific details about the nature of Jackson and Huntley’s injuries, but sources indicate they are expected to be sidelined for the upcoming game. The Ravens will rely on Fagnano to step up and lead the team in a crucial matchup.
