Tyler Huntley News

Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the Ravens plan to place the low restricted tender on the QB, which means that the team would have the right to match any offer sheet Huntley signs, but would not receive compensation in the event that it wasn't matched. That said, the Ravens presumably prefer to retain Huntley in 2023, especially given the unclear status of star signal caller Lamar Jackson, who was previously assigned a non-exclusive franchise tag by the team.

Huntley was intercepted on Baltimore's first possession as the Ravens fell behind 9-0 early. Baltimore responded with a 17-play touchdown drive, on which Huntley showcased his dual-threat skill set. He extended the drive with a two-yard run to convert on 4th-and-1 before eventually throwing a two-yard touchdown pass to J.K. Dobbins. Huntley added a 41-yard touchdown pass to Demarcus Robinson in the third quarter to tie it 17-17, but that tie was broken in the fourth quarter when he had the ball knocked out of his hands less than a yard from the goal line and returned the length of the field for a Bengals touchdown. Though Huntley came up short in this one when his last-second Hail Mary bounced off James Proche's fingertips, the backup quarterback proved capable of keeping the Ravens competitive after Lamar Jackson's Week 13 knee injury. Baltimore's expected to bring both QBs back in free agency, and doing so with Huntley should be straightforward given that he's a restricted free agent.

Huntley has already been deemed active after sitting out the regular-season finale, and all indications suggest he'll work as the starter while playing through his injuries. Anthony Brown could still be used in a change-of-pace role or if Huntley is unable to keep pushing through at any point.

Huntley, who was inactive for the Ravens' regular-season finale against the Bengals last weekend as he contended with right shoulder tendinitis along with a wrist issue, approached the contest listed as questionable after practicing fully Friday, but he'll be in uniform Sunday and is expected to draw the start at QB, per Stacey Dales of NFL Network. That said, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, as well as ESPN's Jamison Hensley previously noted that Huntley could yield some signal-caller reps in Baltimore's postseason opener to Week 18 starter Anthony Brown, with Lamar Jackson still sidelined by a PCL injury in his left knee.

Huntley, who sat out last weekend's regular-season finale against the Bengals due to right shoulder tendinitis along with a wrist injury, is officially listed as questionable for the contest, but he's expected to be available for Sunday's 8:15 ET kickoff. That said, while it appears as though Huntley is trending toward drawing the start, Rapoport, as well as ESPN's Jamison Hensley indicate that Huntley could cede some reps Sunday to Week 18 starter Anthony Brown, in the continued absence of Lamar Jackson (knee).

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley (shoulder, wrist) is planning to play in Sunday's Wild Card game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Huntley and Anthony Brown are expected to take snaps under center for Baltimore today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The plan to utilize both quarterbacks is part of the reason why Baltimore has refused to officially name a starter for their clash with the Bengals. Which quarterback plays could be determined by which package the Ravens use. Huntley's current Wild Card projection includes 177.9 passing yards, 0.76 passing touchdowns, 0.86 interceptions, 33.5 rushing yards, 0.22 rushing touchdowns, and 13.5 FanDuel points. His salary is $6,500.
