Overview
- Brissett, who was traded to the Ravens on Nov. 6, is scheduled to start Monday night, Nov. 16, against the Los Angeles Chargers at 8:15 p.m. ET.
- Baltimore placed Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley on injured reserve after Jackson fractured and dislocated his right thumb and Huntley suffered a season-ending turf toe, forcing the emergency QB acquisition.
- Head coach Jesse Minter said he is very impressed with how quickly Brissett has learned the playbook and built chemistry during the extended break between games.
- Brissett is an 11-year NFL veteran with 73 career starts and 16,485 passing yards, and the Ravens expect him to act as a pragmatic game manager to keep the team competitive.
- The move aims to preserve Baltimore’s slim playoff hopes by buying time for Jackson’s recovery and by stabilizing the offense, with short-term roster tweaks such as signing kicker Riley Patterson also part of the response.
