Joe Fagnano Makes 1st NFL Start for Ravens as QB Injuries Hit Week 9 Opener

Summary
Joe Fagnano gets his first official NFL start Thursday night against Jacksonville after Baltimore lost Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley to injured reserve in the Bills game.
Week 8 also left Fagnano banged up in relief, but he still enters as QB1 with little pro film and a 10-for-21, 91-yard, 1-interception debut against Buffalo.
Kevon Slovis is the fallback option if Fagnano struggles, while Baltimore may lean heavily on Derrick Henry to protect a depleted passing game.
The assignment is steep: the Ravens are sliding, and the 5-2 Jaguars arrive as one of the AFC's more balanced teams with a big lead in the South.
