Brissett to Act as Placeholder at QB Amid Possible Jackson Return

By November 14, 2026

The Baltimore Ravens will be parading another starting quarterback when they take on the winless Los Angeles Chargers this coming Sunday for a Week 10 matchup at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. 

This time, it will be veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who will be handling the rock under center for Baltimore, which is missing the services of Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley.

Jackson and Huntley are sidelined with injuries that they both suffered during their Week 8 loss to Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. 

The Ravens then traded for Brissett, but they went first with third-stringer Joe Fagnano in their Week 9 showdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Fagnano had a horrible outing in his first-ever NFL start in the 33-10 Baltimore loss ot the Jags, but it’s Brissett’s time under center now for the team.

Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Brissett said that he’s not getting too far ahead of himself, as he continues to adjust to his new surroundings amid the potential of Jackson returning at some point down the road this season.

Via Avi Carr-Gloth of WMAR-2 News on X:

New #Ravens starting QB Jacoby Brissett was asked if the team told him that they’re hoping he can help keep the season alive for when Lamar Jackson returns.

Brisett said “I’d be a fool to look forward. I’m trying to learn teammates, players, coaches, plays and get ready for a game. The last thing I’m worried about is something that’s going to happen down the road.”

Jackson has been put on the injured reserve with a right thumb injury, and while the initial expectation was that he would be done for the rest of the season, it appears that he’s not ruling out a return just yet. In fact, he reportedly told his teammates that he plans to return before the end of the 2026 campaign.

Before his trade to Baltimore, Brissett passed for 1,719 yards and 10 touchdowns with seven interceptions on a 63.3 percent completion rate in eight starts for the Arizona Cardinals in 2026.
