Ravens Add Veteran Jacoby Brissett to Start at Quarterback
The 11-year pro was acquired to provide steady leadership and continuity as Baltimore tries to rebuild timing and chemistry on offense.
Overview
- The Ravens traded for Jacoby Brissett to fill their quarterback depth and he is expected to take the starting job for the upcoming Monday night game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
- Brissett is an 11-year NFL veteran who started eight games this season for the Arizona Cardinals and has thrown for more than 1,700 yards with 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
- Head coach Jesse Minter and players like center Cam Jurgens and defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike praised Brissett’s leadership, communication and ability to mentor younger quarterbacks in the room.
- Coaches say Brissett’s experience should help stabilize the offense, but they stressed that improving drive consistency and reducing mistakes will depend on short-term practice work to build timing and chemistry.
- The move follows injuries that landed Lamar Jackson on injured reserve and sidelined backup Tyler Huntley, and it positions Brissett as likely the team's fourth starter this season while Jackson rehabs with a 6–9 week timetable.
