The Baltimore Ravens are preparing for a huge divisional showdown with the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday and despite QB Tyler Huntley feeling sick on Friday with what was deemed as a non-COVID-19 illness, he was expected to start in Week 16.

However, things have taken a turn for the worse, with the Ravens youngster now being placed on the COVID-19 reserve list. Via Ian Rapoport:

Considering Lamar Jackson is still sidelined with an ankle injury, this leaves the Ravens' quarterback situation in absolute shambles for a crucial matchup. It's either Jackson somehow heals in time for Sunday, or third-stringer Josh Johnson plays, who hasn't taken a snap this season for Baltimore. In fact, he was just signed by the team last week off the New York Jets' practice squad to add more depth.

The 35-year-old journeyman has only appeared in 36 NFL games in his career and is now going to likely be called upon in a massive contest. This is certainly a shame for the Ravens that Huntley can't play after he showed so much promise in Week 15 against the Packers, completing 28 of 40 passes for two touchdowns.

With Baltimore on a three-game losing streak, another defeat would drop them to 8-7 and allow the Bengals to take the lead in the AFC North.
