Huntley completed 17 of 22 passes for 186 yards and a touchdown and added 53 rushing yards on eight carries in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Bears.
Facing a Chicago defense missing all three of its starting cornerbacks, Huntley had little trouble finding whatever receivers he wanted, including backup tight end Charlie Kolar for a 10-yard TD in the fourth quarter, while still getting a healthy cut of Baltimore's ground-heavy game plan. It's unclear whether Lamar Jackson (hamstring) will be able to return in Week 9, but if Huntley is under center again, he'll be taking on a Dolphins defense that's been vulnerable this season, although it'll be coming off a strong performance against Kirk Cousins and the Falcons.
Huntley will serve as the Ravens' starting quarterback against the Bears on Sunday after Lamar Jackson (hamstring) was ruled out, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network relayed Saturday morning that Jackson's work with the scout team during Friday's practice indicated that he wouldn't be ready to return from a hamstring injury for Week 8. Jackson's practice participation Friday was downgraded from full to limited, and now that he's been officially ruled out, Huntley will get the start while Cooper Rush serves as the QB2. With Huntley under center, the Ravens may lean more heavily on Derrick Henry and Justice Hill to establish the running game.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Lamar Jackson (hamstring) may not be ready to return from a two-game absence against the Bears on Sunday, which would put Huntley in position to make his first start of the season.
Although Jackson managed to log a full practice Friday, Rapoport relays that the star quarterback worked exclusively with the scout team, which indicates that he may not be ready to return from a hamstring injury that he sustained in Week 4 against the Chiefs. Huntley was signed off the practice squad to the Ravens' active roster Friday, and head coach John Harbaugh noted that Huntley would be in line to start Sunday against Chicago if Jackson was not cleared to play, with Cooper Rush -- who started in Weeks 5 and 6 -- serving as the backup. Huntley had a 2-3 record across five starts with the Dolphins during the 2024 regular season and completed 64.7 percent of his passes for 829 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions while turning 26 carries in 135 yards and two scores.

Ravens' Tyler Huntley: Signed to Ravens' active roster
Rotowire
The Ravens signed Huntley to their active roster Friday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Huntley had been on the team's practice squad, but his signing comes as no surprise after coach John Harbaugh revealed Friday that Huntley would get the starting QB nod over Cooper Rush on Sunday against the Bears in the event that Lamar Jackson (hamstring) is deemed unable to play. Jackson is officially listed as questionable for the contest after practicing fully Friday.

Ravens' Tyler Huntley: Next up, if Jackson can't play
Rotowire
In the event that Lamar Jackson (hamstring) is unable to play Sunday against the Bears, coach John Harbaugh noted Friday that Huntley would get the starting nod over Cooper Rush.
Harbaugh described Jackson as a full practice participant Friday but fell short of declaring that the star QB would play Sunday. In any case, if the Ravens elect to hold Jackson out this weekend, Rush isn't in consideration to fill in, after having gone 0-2 while subbing in for the 1-5 team. Huntley thus represents an option for those who roster Jackson and don't already have a contingency plan.
