Huntley, who has tendonitis in his right throwing shoulder, practiced fully Friday and is said to be questionable. He said he would be a game-time decision.
“Shoot, it’s up there, it’s a good percentage. I think we’re pushing 90, 99, around there,” Huntley told the Ravens website. “We’re up there. We practiced today, and we’re just seeing how we’re [going to] feel these next couple days.”
Baltimore QB Anthony Brown made his first NFL start in the season finale, a 27-16 loss at Cincinnati. He would play if Huntley is unable to Sunday Night (8:15 p.m. ET).
“I think playing in a regular-season game was extremely important,” Brown said. “And on top of that, maybe playing against the same team again is a really good thing to help my experience just in case I do get the call this weekend.”
