The Baltimore Ravens are currently in quarterback hell after a string of injuries. They decided to fix that on Wednesday.

They face a severe quarterback crisis after losing Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley to major injuries in a Week 8 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Jackson suffered a severe right thumb injury on the first snap of Sunday’s game against Buffalo when his hand collided with a defender.

He will undergo surgery and go on IR, sidelining him for a minimum of four games. Consequently, his season could be over based on where the team is when he gets healthy.

Tyler Huntley then suffered a turf toe injury in the second quarter of the same game. Tests confirmed he requires season-ending surgery.

On Wednesday, the team reached out to the Cardinals to get a QB.

The Baltimore Ravens weren’t willing to roll the dice on the rest of their season with an undrafted rookie quarterback. Additionally, they went out and made a trade for a veteran QB.

Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Ravens are finalizing a trade to acquire Jacoby Brissett from the Arizona Cardinals. The deal is expected to be completed this weekend.
