Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson faces a potential season-ending thumb procedure following an early exit against the Buffalo Bills, leaving the franchise scrambling for depth as backup Tyler Huntley also deals with a toe injury that sidelines him for the remainder of the regular season.
Jacoby Brissett Trade Talks With Arizona Cardinals
The Baltimore Ravens are finalizing a trade with the Arizona Cardinals to acquire quarterback Jacoby Brissett, according to a report by NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport on Wednesday. The transaction is expected to be confirmed late in the week, bringing help to a roster currently sitting at the bottom of the AFC North with a 4-4 record.

Brissett spent recent weeks on the bench for the Arizona Cardinals following strong performances from Gardner Minshew, who took over the starting job with Carson Beck serving as the primary backup. Relegated to the third string in Arizona, Brissett now steps into an immediate opportunity to stabilize the Ravens’ offense.
Roster Struggles and Standing in the AFC North
Across eight appearances this season, Brissett has recorded 1,719 passing yards with 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Baltimore enters this crucial stretch trailing divisional opponents while managing an extensive wave of injuries at the game’s most critical position.
With both Jackson and Huntley unavailable, undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano is slated to start under center for the Ravens during their Thursday night matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
