The Baltimore Ravens are scrambling for quarterback help after injuries devastated their depth chart. Lamar Jackson is on injured reserve following thumb surgery that could end his season, and backup Tyler Huntley is done for the year with a turf toe injury.
Undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano started against Buffalo, completing 10 of 21 passes for 91 yards and an interception, but he is now questionable with an ankle issue. The Ravens signed Kedon Slovis and Austin Reed to fill out the room.
With Tuesday's trade deadline approaching, Baltimore could pursue Jacoby Brissett, who was demoted to third string in Arizona after Gardner Minshew's comeback against Dallas. Brissett has thrown for 1,719 yards and 10 touchdowns this season.
Anthony Richardson offers the highest upside. The former No. 4 overall pick has struggled with consistency in Indianapolis but brings elite athleticism that could pair with Derrick Henry.
Tyson Bagent of Chicago has ties to Ravens offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, though his 2025 performance has been uneven and his contract complicates any deal.
Mickey's Angle: The Ravens need a warm body who knows the playbook yesterday. Brissett is the safest floor play if the price is right, but Richardson is the lottery ticket that might actually keep Baltimore's playoff hopes breathing.
