The Baltimore Ravens will be going with Jacoby Brissett as their starting quarterback after trading for him last week. It was a trade that felt like it could be the end for Lamar Jackson this season, as he suffered a thumb injury a few weeks ago after returning from another injury.
With the play of the other quarterbacks not being up to par, the Ravens made sure to invest in a quarterback that has shown they can get the job done, and Brissett fits in that category. Ahead of their game against the Los Angeles Chargers, Brissett was asked if the organization had made it clear that he would be the QB1 for the remainder of the season. From the sound of it, that's the last thing that Brissett is worried about right now.
“I didn't ask that and didn't really want to get into it. It's one of those things where you take it day by day. I'd be a fool to look forward and I'm trying to learn teammates, players, coaches, plays and get ready for a game. The last thing I'm worried about is what happens down the road,” Brissett said.

Brissett is simply living in the present, which is the best thing that he can do at the moment. His goal is to get the Ravens as many wins as he can while he's the starter, and whatever happens beyond that is most likely out of his control.
The Ravens haven't ruled out the possibility of Jackson returning at some point this season, but it wouldn't be a surprise if he was shut down. If Brissett is playing well for the Ravens, they'll probably just stick with him until the rest of the year and hope that they find themselves in the playoffs.
