OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- In a critical battle for first place in the AFC North, the Baltimore Ravens are left with no choice but to start a quarterback signed 10 days ago.
Josh Johnson, a 35-year-old journeyman, will start Sunday's game at the Cincinnati Bengals after Tyler Huntley was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday. The Ravens signed Johnson off the New York Jets' practice squad on Dec. 15.
Johnson, who hasn't started a game in three years, is the de facto starter because he's the only experienced quarterback on Baltimore's roster who's healthy.
