Ravens Name Jacoby Brissett Starter After Midseason Trade

The club expects the veteran to steady a faltering offense with a simplified game plan to stop a four-game slide.

Overview

  • The Ravens traded for Jacoby Brissett on November 4, sending a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 seventh-round pick to Arizona and receiving Brissett plus a 2027 fifth-round pick.
  • Brissett has been installed as Baltimore’s starter and is scheduled to make his debut on Monday Night Football on November 16 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
  • Coaches and teammates say Brissett’s value is his experience and communication, and offensive coordinator Declan Doyle and head coach Jesse Minter say he has picked up the playbook quickly.
  • The team plans to limit Brissett’s early workload with emphasis on quick passes and the running game as a way to reduce turnovers and steady an offense that has scored 13 points or fewer in four straight games.
  • Baltimore is 4-5 after consecutive losses, has placed Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley on injured reserve, turned to rookie Joe Fagnano in emergency duty, and made short-term kicker moves by adding Riley Patterson to the 53-man roster and Harrison Mevis to the practice squad.
