Former Utah quarterback Tyler Huntley is headed back to where his NFL journey started.

For the second year in a row, the Baltimore Ravens welcomed Huntley back to their practice squad after getting cut from the Cleveland Browns’ 53-man roster.

In 2024, Huntley joined Cleveland in the offseason, and despite some solid preseason performances, he was cut at the deadline a year ago. Baltimore gladly welcomed the former Ute back.

In the middle of last season, Miami signed Huntley from the Ravens’ practice squad, and he ended up getting some reps with the Dolphins.

History has a funny way of repeating itself. The same series of events unfolded in 2025. Browns’ offseason squad, cut by Cleveland, and back in Baltimore.

The Ravens have two-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson and a solid backup option in Cooper Rush on their current roster. However, Huntley could be signed by a different team in need of a shot-caller at some point this season.

About Tyler Huntley

Before his time in the NFL, Huntley was a standout player at the University of Utah. He played for the Utes from 2016-19.

During his Utah career, the Dania, Florida native threw for 7,351 yards, 46 touchdowns, and 20 interceptions with a 67 percent completion rate.

Huntley signed with the Ravens after going undrafted following the 2020 NFL Draft.

He spent the majority of his time in Baltimore as the backup to Lamar Jackson but started games in place of the two-time NFL MVP.

In 2022, Huntley helped the Ravens earn a playoff berth in the Wild Card round. He threw for 658 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions during the regular season. Huntley also ran for 137 yards and a touchdown.

During his first four seasons in the league, Huntley threw for 1,957 yards, eight touchdowns, and seven interceptions with a 64.6 percent completion rate. He also ran for 509 yards and three touchdowns.

After the 2022 regular season, the former Utah standout was named to the AFC Pro Bowl roster as an alternate. Huntley threw four touchdown passes during the Pro Bowl Games.

Huntley signed with the Cleveland Browns during the 2024 offseason. After getting released at the roster cutdown deadline, Huntley resigned in Baltimore. After Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa went down with a concussion in week two, Miami signed Huntley from Baltimore’s practice squad.

He went on to rejoin the Browns in the 2025 offseason but was once again cut from the 53-man roster. Huntley joined the Ravens’ practice squad befoire week one of the 2025 NFL season.
