What happened: The Baltimore Ravens are finalizing a trade to acquire quarterback Jacoby Brissett from the Arizona Cardinals, with the deal expected to be completed this weekend. The transaction will not process in time for Brissett to play in Baltimore's Thursday night matchup. He is slated to make his Ravens debut in Week 10 on Monday Night Football against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Why it matters: Baltimore moved to acquire Brissett after starter Lamar Jackson suffered a right thumb injury that requires surgery and an injured reserve stint. The trade secures a veteran presence under center to steady the offense during Jackson's extended absence.

By the numbers: Brissett has completed 193 of 305 passes for 1,719 yards with 10 touchdowns and 7 interceptions in 2026 through 8 games. Jackson has completed 68 of 97 passes for 967 yards with 6 touchdowns and 1 interception in 2026 through 5 games.

What to watch: The trade is expected to be finalized over the weekend ahead of Brissett's targeted Ravens debut against the Los Angeles Chargers.
