A Quick Arrival in Baltimore

Quarterback Jacoby Brissett spoke to reporters for the first time since joining the Baltimore Ravens. The team acquired Brissett and a 2027 fifth round pick from the Arizona Cardinals in exchange for a fourth round pick in 2027 and a seventh rounder in 2028.

The Ravens currently hold a 4-5 record and sit one game out of the final AFC playoff spot with nine weeks remaining. Brissett stated that he has not asked the team about its long term plans at quarterback for the remainder of the season.

Learning the Playbook Fast

Brissett spent his first weekend with the offensive coaching staff to learn the playbook. He enters this week with four days of practice before the Ravens host the winless Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night.

To speed up his preparation, Brissett has stayed on the field after practice ended to throw passes to wide receivers Zay Flowers, Ja'Kobi Lane and Devontez Walker. He joked with reporters that the media session was interrupting his intense crash course.

Teammates Notice Immediate Impact

This is the seventh team of the eleven year career for Brissett. Teammates have already noticed his confidence on the field during his first two practices.

Ravens defensive end Calais Campbell noted that new players usually hesitate before throwing balls in a fresh offense, but Brissett has been ripping the ball right away. Lamar Jackson remains on injured reserve with a right thumb injury, but intends to return later this season.
