Jacoby Brissett Expected to Start for Ravens Against Chargers

Jacoby Brissett is on track to start for the Baltimore Ravens against the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night, according to NBC Sports. Head coach Jesse Minter praised the quarterback’s progress learning the offense in comments to reporters Saturday.

Brissett joined Baltimore a little over a week ago in a trade with the Arizona Cardinals. Despite that short preparation window, Minter’s comments suggested the veteran could have access to more than a small portion of the Ravens’ playbook.

“I’m very, very impressed with how fast he’s learned [what we’re doing],” Minter said, via the team’s website, as reported by NBC Sports.

Minter also pointed to Brissett’s reputation when discussing his arrival.

“The stuff you heard about was just like, ‘Hey, he’s a veteran presence and a real pro,’” Minter said.

Baltimore needs Brissett to operate at a high level to stay in the playoff race. The Ravens enter Monday’s game in last place in the AFC North.
