The Ravens will face Jacksonville without top cornerback Nate Wiggins, who is sidelined by illness after suffering a stinger Sunday. Baltimore’s pass defense, which has given up 71 points over its past two games, must now contain Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars’ receiving threats. Austin Reed is active as backup to first-time starter Joe Fagnano.

By the Numbers
  • Baltimore allowed 35 and 36 points in its last two games.
  • Parker Washington: 27 catches, 432 yards and 4 touchdowns.
  • Jakobi Meyers: 22 catches, 309 yards and 2 touchdowns.
  • Bhayshul Tuten ranks 15th in the NFL with 492 rushing yards.
Yes, But

Wiggins’ absence is a significant setback, but veteran Marlon Humphrey has started every game this season, and Chidobe Awuzie and T.J. Tampa could take on larger roles. Jacksonville’s Tuten and defensive end Travon Walker are active despite injuries.

State of Play
  • Joe Fagnano is making his first start, with Reed as his backup and Kedon Slovis designated as the emergency No. 3 quarterback.
  • Starting safety Jaylinn Hawkins is out for a third straight game.
  • Kicker Jake Moody and outside linebacker Adisa Isaac were elevated from the practice squad.
What's Next

Baltimore is reportedly finalizing a trade for veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett, but he would not be expected to debut before the Nov. 16 game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Bottom Line

With Wiggins out and Fagnano making his first start, Baltimore faces a test on both sides of the ball—and its depleted secondary must find a way to slow Jacksonville’s passing game.
