Baltimore turns to Joe Fagnano
The biggest storyline is Baltimore’s quarterback situation.
Undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano is scheduled to make his first NFL start after injuries sidelined Lamar Jackson and backup Tyler Huntley.
Jackson injured his right thumb on the opening play of his return against Buffalo and is expected to miss extended time.
Huntley is also unavailable after suffering a toe injury, leaving Fagnano with the starting assignment on a short week.
Fagnano took over during the loss to Buffalo, completing 10 of 21 passes for 91 yards and an interception.
Thursday’s game will be his first start against a Jacksonville defence that has been among the league’s stronger units this season.
Baltimore is likely to rely heavily on running back Derrick Henry while easing pressure on the rookie quarterback.
Henry has not reached 60 rushing yards in any of the Ravens’ three consecutive losses, and Jacksonville has allowed a league-low 3.4 yards per carry entering the matchup.
Jacksonville arrives with momentum
The Jaguars have won five of their first seven games and sit atop the AFC South.
Their latest victory was a dominant home performance against Indianapolis, with Jacksonville scoring 42 points while allowing only seven.
The team has also produced three victories by at least 20 points, the most in the NFL entering Week 9.
That form has made Jacksonville one of the conference’s early playoff contenders, although Thursday’s road test presents a different challenge.
Jacksonville could be without running back Bhayshul Tuten, who is listed as questionable with ankle and foot injuries.
Defensive end Travon Walker is also listed as questionable with a rib issue.
The Jaguars’ defence will face an important test without defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton, who suffered a season-ending quadriceps injury last week.
His absence could increase the responsibility on the rest of Jacksonville’s front seven against Henry and Baltimore’s running game.
What is at stake for both teams
Jacksonville is attempting to maintain its position in the AFC South and build on a strong start under head coach Liam Coen.
A win would give the Jaguars another road victory over an AFC opponent and strengthen their position before the second half of the season.
Baltimore has less room for error.
The Ravens have dropped three straight games, all against AFC opponents, and now face a difficult prime-time matchup with a rookie quarterback making his first start.
The Ravens still have veteran playmakers on both sides of the ball, including Henry on offence and safety Kyle Hamilton on defence.
Their challenge will be producing enough early momentum to protect Fagnano while limiting Jacksonville’s explosive scoring attack.
Series history
Jacksonville holds a 13-11 advantage in the all-time series, according to the Jaguars.
Thursday’s game is the teams’ first meeting in Baltimore since 2020.
The Ravens will also debut their Purple Rising uniforms during the prime-time game.
The alternate all-purple combination is part of the team’s 2026 uniform collection.
With Jacksonville entering on a two-game winning streak and Baltimore fighting to stop its slide, the matchup combines a playoff-positioning opportunity for the visitors with a must-have response game for the home team.
