The Baltimore Ravens sit at 4-4 after eight games in 2026, fourth in the AFC North following three straight losses capped by a 36-10 defeat at Buffalo. Lamar Jackson suffered a right thumb injury on his first snap returning from an earlier ankle issue, likely landing on injured reserve and shifting the offense to undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano after backup Tyler Huntley exited with a toe injury. Baltimore ranks middle of the pack in total yards but has shown second-half defensive and offensive lapses, plus offensive line vulnerabilities. With nine games remaining—including matchups against Jacksonville, the Chargers, and divisional foes—their win total hinges on quarterback stability, rushing production led by Derrick Henry, and whether the defense can limit explosive plays amid a condensed schedule.
