The move gives Baltimore a third quarterback after injuries sidelined Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley, while Joe Fagnano is expected to start Thursday.
On Monday, Nov. 2, the Baltimore Ravens signed quarterback Austin Reed to their practice squad to address critical quarterback depth following multiple injuries.
Injuries to two-time MVP Lamar Jackson and backup Tyler Huntley created the need; Jackson requires thumb surgery and will land on injured reserve, while Huntley is sidelined with a turf toe injury sustained Sunday.
Undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano is expected to start Thursday despite an ankle injury, with head coach Jesse Minter confirming Fagnano is "fighting through a couple of things." Reed will serve as backup.
The Ravens host the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday Night Football with less than three full days to prepare. The Jaguars enter the matchup with a 5-2 record, leading the AFC South.
Currently 4-4, Baltimore sits in fourth place in a contentious AFC North division and faces the Los Angeles Chargers, Carolina Panthers, and Houston Texans before their Week 13 bye.
