The Baltimore Ravens signed quarterback Austin Reed to their practice squad as injuries leave the team short-handed at the position. Lamar Jackson is expected to go on injured reserve for thumb surgery, while backup Tyler Huntley is dealing with a toe injury; undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano made his NFL debut after both were sidelined. Reed, 26, spent training camp with Baltimore and is familiar with offensive coordinator Declan Doyle’s system, making him a likely backup to Fagnano for Thursday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The move also gives Baltimore an inexpensive option while it considers whether to add another quarterback before the trade deadline.

No right coverage yet — a bubble gap.
Huntley's toe problem is unfortunate but the team needs to find a better long term option soon.
This leaves the rookie in a tough spot starting against Jacksonville with so little experience.
Reed had a decent camp so signing him again feels like a logical move for depth.
