What happened: Quarterback Joe Fagnano enters the matchup with his right ankle heavily wrapped. Backup quarterback Austin Reed is active on the sideline after rejoining the Baltimore roster this week.

Why it matters: Deploying a passer with restricted mobility invites pressure and limits offensive execution. Trusting a healthy Austin Reed offers a sound alternative while protecting the starter from lingering damage. Baltimore gains little by rushing a hobbled quarterback into action.
