The Baltimore Ravens suffered their fourth straight and fifth total loss of the season in Week 9 as they were forced to start undrafted rookie quarterback Joe Fagnano as injuries continued to pile up at the position. However, the Ravens are making a quarterback change in Week 10 with a little extra time to prepare. Ravens head coach Jesse Minter revealed that he expects newly acquired veteran Jacoby Brissett to be the team's starter against the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football.
"He's been around most of the weekend," Minter said. "I expect him to hit the ground running. We'll kind of pick up an extra day with the guys tomorrow, begin kind of a normal week of practice on Wednesday to get a day ahead, pick up an extra day later in the week.
So, I think, especially with us playing on Monday, for his circumstance, it's good to allow him as much time as possible, and I do expect him to be our starter Monday night." The Ravens are surely hoping Brissett can provide their offense with a spark, which left when quarterback Lamar Jackson suffered a fractured and dislocated right thumb against the Buffalo Bills in Week 8. Brissett brings a ton of experience and leadership to Baltimore with 16,485 passing yards, 86 touchdowns and 39 interceptions in his professional career. The Ravens traded a fourth-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft and seventh-round pick in the 2028 NFL Draft to the Cardinals in exchange for Brissett and a 2027 fifth-round pick last week.
It felt like a necessary move for Baltimore after watching Fagnano throw for just 80 yards and two interceptions last Thursday night.
