Ravens Place Tyler Huntley Set on COVID-19, Josh Johnson Starts Against the Bengals

The hits continued to come for the Baltimore Ravens, who placed their reserve quarterback Tyler Huntley on the COVID-19 roster Saturday morning.
#Ravens QB Tyler Huntley tops the COVID-19 reserve list, according to me and @AKinkhabwala. Sick yesterday, now on the list today. He’s out on Sunday.

Huntley was set to start his second straight game against the Cincinnati Bengals with Lamar Jackson once again out of practice. However, with Huntley now out, that should pave the way for Josh Johnson to start Sunday in a game that could go a long way in deciding the AFC North.
And Josh Johnson, 35, who has been signed to #Ravens two weeks ago and was the only fit QB at Friday’s training who is likely to start tomorrow’s big game vs. #Bengals. https://t.co/LxmCkfRLy9

It’s worth noting that Jackson has yet to be officially eliminated, but all indications are that he will miss another game with his bulky ankle.
The Raven is +4.5 at WynnBET Sportsbook with a total of 44 as of the time of this writing, but that virality is likely to increase even further after the announcement that Johnson will begin.
