What happened: Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley were ruled out ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Rookie third-string quarterback Joe Fagnano is also managing an ankle issue that left him limited in walkthrough sessions. The injuries leave Baltimore facing an acute quarterback shortage on four days of preparation.

Why it matters: Jackson will undergo surgery to repair a right thumb injury and land on injured reserve, removing the starter from an offense that has dropped three consecutive games to fall to 4-4. Huntley's toe injury further stretches the depth chart as the 10th-seeded Ravens attempt to remain in the AFC playoff race. A loss to the 5-2 Jaguars would deepen Baltimore's slide into second-half contention trouble.

What to watch: The Ravens face the Jaguars on Thursday, with Baltimore's final injury report set to determine Fagnano's availability and any practice-squad elevations under center.
