The Baltimore Ravens have lost another quarterback for the season after tests confirmed that Tyler "Snoop" Huntley suffered a season-ending turf toe injury. The injury leaves rookie Joe Fagnano in line to start against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night, with Lamar Jackson also sidelined.

According to sources who spoke to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Huntley sustained the injury during the first half of Sunday's 36-10 defeat against the Buffalo Bills. His absence further limits Baltimore's options at quarterback as the team looks to navigate multiple injuries.

Jackson suffered a thumb injury on the Ravens' first offensive play against Buffalo. According to ESPN, he is headed to injured reserve and could miss the remainder of the season.

Fagnano will become only the second undrafted rookie quarterback to start for Baltimore during the franchise's 32-year history. The Ravens enter the matchup with a 4-4 record.

The rookie also dealt with an injury during Sunday's game. He wore a brace over his right ankle at Tuesday's practice, raising further attention to Baltimore's limited quarterback depth.

Fagnano addressed the physical demands of playing in the NFL after making his professional debut against Buffalo.

"Every game you got bumps and bruises," said Fagnano, who completed 10 of 21 passes for 91 yards with one interception in his NFL debut against the Bills. "It's just football, a physical game we play. It feels good, though."

Fagnano's available backups are Austin Reed and Kedon Slovis, both of whom joined the Ravens this week. Their arrival comes as Baltimore deals with the absence of its two other quarterbacks.

Thursday's game will also place Fagnano in a rare NFL situation. He will become the second undrafted quarterback to make his first career NFL start in a primetime game.

Cooper Rush was the first to achieve that milestone. He started for the Dallas Cowboys in 2021 and led the team on a late game-winning drive against the Minnesota Vikings.

ESPN's Jamison Hensley contributed information to this report.
