Ravens Trade for Jacoby Brissett as 4-4 Baltimore Loses 3 QBs to Injuries
3 articles · Updated · CBS Sports · Nov 4
Summary
Baltimore agreed to acquire Jacoby Brissett from Arizona, with the trade expected to be completed this weekend and compensation still not finalized.
Three quarterback injuries drove the move: Lamar Jackson needed thumb surgery after his first pass Sunday, Tyler Huntley suffered season-ending turf toe, and Joe Fagnano is also managing an ankle injury.
Brissett, 33, gives the Ravens a veteran with 73 career starts; he has thrown for 1,719 yards, 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions in eight games this season.
Arizona had already dropped Brissett to third string after Gardner Minshew led a 33-30 overtime comeback over Dallas, making the deal an exit for a benched starter and a lifeline for 4-4 Baltimore's playoff push.
