What happened: Coach Minter addressed the addition of quarterback Jacoby Brissett following the team's trade to acquire the veteran passer. Brissett was brought in to take over under center after starter Lamar Jackson suffered a right thumb injury that required surgery.
Why it matters: The front office restructured defensive lineman Nnamdi Madubuike's contract to create $8.66 million in cap room to absorb Brissett's contract. The move provides immediate veteran stability as Baltimore aims to keep its postseason aspirations on track during Jackson's recovery.
By the numbers: Brissett has completed 193 of 305 passes for 1,719 yards with 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 2026 through eight games.
What to watch: Brissett is slated to make his first start for the team in Week 10.
