The Baltimore Ravens newly-acquired veteran quarterback, who is set to make his debut with the team on Monday night, spoke with reporters on Thursday.
The Ravens will attempt to save their season and end a four-game losing streak by turning to a life preserver in the form of veteran Jacoby Brissett.
Brissett, 33, was acquired by the Ravens after the team faced serious injuries at the quarterback position.
Quarterback Lamar Jackson was placed on injured reserve due to a thumb injury, with hope that he could return late in the year. Quarterback Tyler Huntley suffered a season-ending turf toe injury.
Undrafted rookie quarterback Joe Fagnano made his first career start last week in a 33-10 blowout loss from the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9.
While speaking with reporters, Brissett said that his new teammates and coaches have been helpful with the transition.
“I feel confident. I don’t think my preparation is stopping today, but, you know, I think I got the right coaches that are helping me along the way. I see the players are helping me when I’m in the huddle and things of that nature,” Brissett said. “So it’s been good.”

Brissett has played for six teams over his 11-year career, most recently with the Arizona Cardinals. He was drafted by the New England Patriots in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft.
Through 11 seasons, Brissett has played in 109 games and has 86 passing touchdowns on 16,485 passing yards. He also has 17 rushing touchdowns on 1,232 rushing yards.
Brissett’s first start with the Ravens will come against the winless Los Angeles Chargers in primetime on Monday Night Football, a team that Brissett beat while on the Cardinals in Week 1.
