The Baltimore Ravens find themselves in a precarious situation after losing their top two quarterbacks to injury. Lamar Jackson suffered a thumb injury during a 36-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills, landing him on injured reserve and potentially ending his season. Tyler Huntley also faced a season-ending injury, leaving undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano to step in. Fagnano's performance against the Bills was lackluster, completing 10 of 21 passes for 91 yards and one interception, and he is now dealing with an ankle injury that makes him questionable for the upcoming Week 9 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. To bolster their roster, the Ravens have added Kedon Slovis and Austin Reed.

With a 4-4 record, the Ravens are considering a trade for a more established quarterback before the deadline. Here are three candidates:

• Jacoby Brissett, Arizona Cardinals: Recently demoted to third-string, Brissett has shown he can be a competent starter, completing 63.3% of his passes for 1,719 yards, 10 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions this season. He could provide a solid upgrade over an undrafted rookie.

• Anthony Richardson, Indianapolis Colts: The former No. 4 overall pick offers significant upside despite struggling with consistency. Richardson has an athletic profile that could thrive in a new environment, making him a tantalizing option for the Ravens.

• Tyson Bagent, Chicago Bears: Familiar with Ravens' offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, Bagent's journey from undrafted rookie to starting quarterback has been impressive. However, his recent performance raises questions about his readiness to lead a team.

As the trade deadline approaches, the Ravens must weigh their options carefully to salvage their season.
