Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was ruled out Sunday after injuring his right thumb on his first snap against the Buffalo Bills.

Tyler Huntley replaced him but exited in the second quarter with a toe injury.

Joe Fagnano, an undrafted rookie out of UConn, entered the game as the emergency third quarterback after Huntley left.

Fagnano hadn't attempted an NFL pass before entering Sunday's game. He threw for 3,488 yards with 28 touchdowns and one interception for UConn last season.

Jackson injured his hand when it hit a Buffalo Bills defender. He quickly went to the sideline to talk to the trainers, then headed to the locker room.

Jackson had just returned to the starting lineup after missing the last three contests with an ankle injury.

Baltimore entered Sunday's game against Buffalo with a 4-3 record and in last place in the AFC North.
