The Baltimore Ravens find themselves in a precarious situation at quarterback just days before their Week 9 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. With kickoff approaching on Thursday night and uncertainty surrounding their starting quarterback, the team has made a desperate move by signing Kedon Slovis off the Green Bay Packers' practice squad.

Slovis, who has never started an NFL game and has thrown only two career passes, could be thrust into action with merely two practices under his belt in Baltimore. The Ravens' QB coach, Israel Woolfork, previously worked with Slovis in Arizona, suggesting that familiarity played a role in this signing.

In addition to Slovis, the Ravens held a workout for Adrian Martinez, the 2024 UFL MVP, though he has yet to be signed. This comes as the team grapples with injuries following their 36-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills, where both Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley sustained injuries, leaving rookie Joe Fagnano as the only available option. Fagnano is dealing with an ankle injury but has shown promise, despite a shaky performance against the Bills.

Current QB Options for Thursday:

• Joe Fagnano: Undrafted rookie, may start if healthy.
• Kedon Slovis: Newly signed, minimal experience.
• Austin Reed: Recently added to the practice squad, familiar with the offense.

The Ravens' situation underscores the challenges of depth at quarterback, with all three options being undrafted players. As they prepare for the Jaguars, the team may still look to add another quarterback to bolster their chances.
