Ravens Confirm Tyler Huntley Out for Rest of 2026 Season
The 29-year-old backup suffered a turf toe injury while relieving Lamar Jackson in Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley will miss the remainder of the 2026 season due to a turf toe injury. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the news on Tuesday, confirming the injury sustained after Huntley entered the game in place of Lamar Jackson during Sunday’s loss to the Buffalo Bills.
The injury occurred when Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver landed on the back of Huntley’s foot. A physical therapist who analyzed the play noted that the stress placed on the first metatarsophalangeal joint is consistent with turf toe. Huntley, 29, has played six of his seven NFL seasons with Baltimore and has started 14 games, including three this year while Jackson managed an ankle issue.
Huntley’s absence leaves the Ravens with limited options at the position. Emergency third quarterback Joe Fagnano, an undrafted rookie from UConn, finished Sunday’s 36-10 defeat and started the subsequent game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. To address the depth issue, the team signed Kedon Slovis from the Green Bay Packers practice squad earlier this week. Austin Reed, who was with the team during preseason, was also added to the practice squad. Reed has never taken a regular season snap, while Slovis has taken five.
The Ravens are currently 4-4 and have lost three consecutive games. With Jackson’s thumb injury still under evaluation, the team faces a short week with minimal experience at the quarterback position. The loss of Huntley provides clarity that may influence roster moves before the Nov. 10 trade deadline.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport mentioned Tyson Bagent and Jacoby Brissett as potential trade targets for Baltimore earlier this week. The Ravens must now decide whether to pursue a veteran via trade or rely on Fagnano and the newly acquired backups for the rest of the schedule.
Jackson’s status remains uncertain as the team assesses the severity of his thumb injury. Huntley’s season is officially over, leaving the front office to fill the gap in the quarterback room during a critical stretch of the season.
