Ravens Reportedly Trading for Jacoby Brissett After Injuries Leave Them Without Their Top Two Quarterbacks

Baltimore is trading for veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett after Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley were sidelined by injuries, according to reports, though the deal is not expected to be completed in time for Thursday night's game against Jacksonville.

The Baltimore Ravens are trading for veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett, according to reports from ESPN and NFL Network, after injuries left the team without its top two quarterbacks. Neither the Ravens nor the Arizona Cardinals have announced the deal, and reports say it is not expected to be completed until this weekend.

Jackson, playing for the first time in a month, hurt the thumb on his throwing hand on Baltimore’s first play from scrimmage Sunday at Buffalo. He will have surgery and may not play again this season, according to USA Today. Huntley hurt his toe in relief of Jackson and has since been ruled out for the season. Undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano finished the game, a 36-10 loss to the Bills, and is set to start Thursday night against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

What the trade changes, and what it does not

Brissett, 33, was demoted to third string by Arizona earlier this week after losing the starting job to Gardner Minshew II. He has started 73 games in his career, including eight for Arizona this year, completing 63.3 percent of his passes for 1,719 yards, 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Because the deal will not be done in time for Thursday, the earliest Brissett could make his Baltimore debut is Nov. 16 against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to reports.

The trade terms have not been reported, and Brissett must still pass a physical with Baltimore. USA Today reported he will be owed the remaining part of his $9.7 million base salary, with the two teams able to work out how much each side pays. Baltimore, at 4-4 and last in the AFC North, has no other quarterback on its roster who has started a regular-season NFL game besides Fagnano, with recently signed Kedon Slovis and Austin Reed behind him.
