Ravens Turn to Jacoby Brissett as Starter and He Debuts Monday Night

The 11-year veteran is fast-tracking the playbook to stabilize an offense battered by injuries with Lamar Jackson’s return still uncertain.

Overview

  • Brissett, who was traded to Baltimore on Nov. 4, will make his Ravens debut on Monday Night Football as the team tries to end a four-game losing streak.
  • Coaches and teammates praise Brissett’s leadership and system versatility and say he has quickly learned plays while staying after practice to build timing with receivers.
  • Baltimore gave up a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 seventh-round pick and received Brissett plus a 2027 fifth-round pick in the deal that front office sources described as a short-term roster fix.
  • The Ravens plan a tailored, limited playbook that leans on the running game and ball-security principles so Brissett can manage drives without forcing risky throws.
  • Brissett started eight games for Arizona this season with about 1,700 passing yards, 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions, and analysts say the move stabilizes the position while the team’s playoff odds remain low.
