The Baltimore Ravens have made their Week 10 quarterback decision, with newly acquired veteran Jacoby Brissett expected to take over as the starter after rookie Joe Fagnano's difficult performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Baltimore officially acquired Brissett from the Arizona Cardinals on Friday, receiving the veteran quarterback and a 2027 fifth-round draft pick in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round selection and a 2028 seventh-round pick.
The move comes after the Ravens suffered a 33-10 loss to Jacksonville on Thursday night, dropping to 4-5 and extending their losing streak to four games. Fagnano struggled in his first NFL start, completing 10 of 18 passes for 60 yards and two interceptions. With Lamar Jackson recovering from thumb
surgery and Tyler Huntley sidelined by a toe injury, head coach Jesse Minter and offensive coordinator Declan Doyle will turn to Brissett when Baltimore hosts the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday, Nov. 16.

Brissett has started 73 NFL games, throwing for more than 16,000 career yards. The 33-year-old started eight games with Arizona this season, recording 1,719 passing yards, 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
His experience gives Baltimore a quarterback accustomed to diagnosing NFL defenses, making protection adjustments and managing an offense under pressure. Brissett won't provide the dynamic rushing ability Jackson brought to Baltimore's offense, but his command of the pocket and familiarity with different offensive systems could help establish a more consistent passing attack.
The veteran also has a relationship with Ravens quarterback coach Israel Woolfolk, which could speed his transition into Doyle's offense.
