Ravens head coach Jesse Minter confirmed Joe Fagnano will start in Week 9 against the Jaguars. 2026-11-03 16:00:02 The 25-year-old rookie UDFA will make the starting lineup on Thursday night against the Jaguars’ top-flight defense under the lights. Fagnano predictably struggled in the two-and-a-half quarters he played against the Bills last week, throwing for just 91 yards on 10-of-21 passes while also throwing a pick and taking three sacks. While it’s possible a short week of prep as the team’s QB1 could yield marginally better results, this projects to be a tough matchup for Fagnano and the rest of the Ravens’ offensive players. Fagnano will not be on the fantasy radar this week, and Derrick Henry and Zay Flowers will both be docked a few spots in fantasy rankings due to the downgrade at QB. |

Joe Fagnano was seen wearing an ankle guard/brace during Tuesday’s practice. 2026-11-03 14:00:02 Head coach Jesse Minter said on Monday that Fagnano was “dealing with some things physically,” but the rookie UDFA is still expected to make his first career start on Thursday against the Jaguars. Fagnano was wearing the guard/brace on his right ankle, but was on the field practicing with the team. The Ravens recently signed Austin Reed and Kedon Slovis to the practice squad, with Reed looking like the most likely backup to Fagnano on Thursday night. Hopefully the Ravens aren’t forced to go to fourth QB in less than a week, but Fagnano clearly isn’t operating at 100 percent. |

Jesse Minter said Joe Fagnano (ankle) is “dealing with some things physically” but has a chance to start in Week 9. 2026-11-02 19:00:02 Whelp, that isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement for the rookie quarterback’s chances of starting under center for the Ravens when they host the Jaguars on Thursday Night Football to kick off Week 9. The team lost both Lamar Jackson to a season-ending thumb injury and backup Tyler Huntley to a turf toe injury in their Week 8 loss to the Bills, now in desperate need of a viable quarterback option as they fight for their playoff lives. It is possible the team addresses the position through trade with just over a week until the trade deadline, although that is unlikely to help them on a short week. More to come in what quickly became a dire situation in Baltimore. |

The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec reports that Joe Fagnano (undisclosed) said he thinks he is healthy enough to play in Week 9 against the Jaguars. 2026-11-02 00:00:02 According to Zrebiec, Fagnano “was hobbled by game’s end, after he took a low and penalized hit” from Bills DL Ed Oliver. Fagnano said he and the team will have to wait and “see” how he is feeling in the coming days, noting that “you’re always going to have bumps and bruises” after a football game. Lamar Jackson (thumb) is already headed to injured reserve and Tyler Huntley will undergo an MRI tomorrow to assess a potential turf toe injury. Zrebiec rightly writes that the Ravens “will almost certainly have to bring in at least one quarterback, if not two,” this week. He lists Anthony Richardson and Tua Tagovailoa as potential trade targets. At this point, it is unclear who will start for the Ravens on Thursday night. |

The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec reports “multiple teams” reached out with interest in trading for Joe Fagnano after the preseason. 2026-09-08 16:00:02 Fagnano completed 56-of-75 passes for 509 yards and three touchdowns in preseason action while taking just one sack. Last year’s major UDFA winner among the quarterbacks was Max Brosmer, so don’t go thinking Fagnano needs to be on your dynasty bench or anything, but him making the 53-man roster was interesting and this adds a little flavor as to why that was. |
