For the fourth straight week, the Baltimore Ravens will have a different quarterback under centre.
Newly acquired QB Jacoby Brissett is expected to start Week 10's showdown against the Los Angeles Chargers, head coach Jesse Minter told reporters Monday.
"I think — especially with us playing on Monday — for his circumstances, it's good to allow him as much time as possible," Minter said of the decision to tab Brissett. "I do expect him to be our starter on Monday night."
Dealing with a plethora of injuries to their quarterback room, the Ravens swung a trade with the Arizona Cardinals last week to acquire the veteran QB.
As part of the deal, the Cardinals received a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 seventh-round pick. The Ravens also acquired a 2027 fifth-round pick in the swap.
The Ravens' top two quarterbacks, Lamar Jackson (thumb) and Tyler Huntley (toe), both landed on injured reserve after going down in a Week 8 defeat to the Buffalo Bills, leaving the team desperate for help under centre.
In Week 9, Baltimore went with undrafted rookie QB Joe Fagnano in a Thursday-night 33-10 defeat to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The next day, the Ravens swung the deal for Brissett.
The 33-year-old signal caller had started the Cardinals' first eight games of the season, throwing for 1,719 yards with a 63.3 completion percentage while adding 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
He was benched by the Cardinals in his final outing in Week 8 in favour of Gardner Minshew, who eventually led Arizona to a win over the Dallas Cowboys.
