Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson suffered a back injury in the second quarter of the team's 28-24 loss. Jackson was kneed in the lower left side with 1:56 remaining in the second quarter and headed to the locker room early. Tyler Huntley came in to finish that drive and played the entire second half as Jackson dealt with the injury. An MRI scheduled for Monday should tell us more. If Jackson can't play, Tyler Huntley would get the start in Week 17 in a crucial matchup against the Packers. UPDATE: Jackson is day-to-day with a back bruise.

The Baltimore Ravens have officially ruled QB Lamar Jackson out for the team's Week 8 game against the Chicago Bears. Jackson missed 2 games with a hamstring injury and had the bye week to recover. He returned to full practices but took the field with the scout team on Friday, which hinted at his status. Tyler Huntley will start for the Ravens on Sunday.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (hip) is not expected to play vs. the Jets today and would be iffy for the Wild Card round if Miami qualifies, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Tagovailoa is dealing with a "unique hip injury, which is affecting the surrounding muscles and therefore his strength and mobility, along with leaving him vulnerable to further injury," Rapoport writes. It's the same hip that Tagovailoa had surgically repaired while at Alabama in 2019. We'll see if QB Tyler Huntley can lead Miami to a win today. The Fins would also need a Broncos loss to the Chiefs to make the playoffs. It doesn't sound like Tagovailoa's hip injury is a long-term concern.

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that the team is preparing QB Tyler Huntley to start this weekend's game vs. the Jets. QB Tua Tagovailoa will be limited in practice on Wednesday with his hip injury, and it sounds like he hasn't been ruled out for Week 18 yet. But fantasy owners should be planning as if it'll be Huntley under center again for now. He played well in the Week 17 win over the Browns, completing 22 of 26 passes (85%) for 225 yards (8.7 YPA) and one TD, adding another 52 yards and a score on the ground. Just as importantly, the Dolphins stayed pass-heavy, registering a +11% pass rate over expected. That makes it easier to trust guys like WR Tyreek Hill and TE Jonnu Smith in Week 18 fantasy lineups, although Huntley is still a downgrade from Tagovailoa.

Dolphins QB Tyler Huntley exited in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Colts with a right shoulder injury. He's been replaced by QB Tim Boyle. The Dolphins are mercifully expected to get QB Tua Tagovailoa back next week.

Dolphins QB Skylar Thompson was knocked out in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Seahawks. Thompson took five sacks and numerous other big hits. He's been replaced by QB Tim Boyle. Miami recently signed QB Snoop Huntley, who is active as the emergency third QB today.

Update: Thompson has been ruled out with a chest injury.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (knee) is facing an "uphill battle" to play in Sunday night's Wild Card game vs. the Bengals, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "He is working, he is trying, he is rehabbing," Rapoport said. "The knee is just not quite right." Jackson went down on December 4 and was initially expected to miss no more than 3 weeks. He's now 5-and-a-half weeks removed from the injury. We'll get Baltimore's first practice report of the week later today, but it sounds like we should expect Tyler Huntley to be under center on Sunday night.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (knee) did not practice again on Wednesday. Backup Tyler Huntley (right shoulder) practiced in a limited fashion after not appearing on the injury report on Tuesday. It seems fantasy managers should not anticipate having Jackson available. The troubling issue here is that it's unclear who will start on Saturday vs. the Falcons given the Huntley development. Check back tomorrow once we learn more.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (knee) is out for Saturday's game vs. the Browns. QB Tyler Huntley (concussion) isn't listed on the final injury report and is expected to start that one. That's good news for the offense in general -- and specifically TE Mark Andrews -- but Huntley is only a recommended play in 2-QB and Superflex leagues.

Ravens HC John Harbaugh said after Sunday's win over the Broncos that QB Lamar Jackson's knee injury is not season ending. "It's gonna be a number of days or weeks," Harbaugh added. Jackson is scheduled for additional testing on Monday, so we should learn more about his situation then. QB Tyler Huntley will take over for Baltimore for however long Jackson is out.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Broncos with a left knee injury. We'll update his status when we know more. QB Tyler Huntley will step in for Jackson.

Update: Jackson has been downgraded to out.

Ravens QB Tyler Huntley will start Sunday's game vs. the Steelers, HC John Harbaugh said Friday. QB Lamar Jackson still isn't able to play on that ankle injury. Huntley has finished QB18, QB1 and QB21 in fantasy points in 3 starts this season.

Ravens QB Tyler Huntley has been activated from the COVID list. He'll be available to start Sunday's game vs. the Rams if QB Lamar Jackson remains out with his ankle injury.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson appeared to injure his right leg in the 2nd quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Browns. He was taken to the medical tent before being carted back to the locker room. We'll update Jackson's status when we know more. He was replaced by QB Tyler Huntley.
