The Guardian report on the Ravens and Jacoby Brissett said that veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett is heading from the Arizona Cardinals to the Baltimore Ravens, citing a person with knowledge of the trade who told the Associated Press on Wednesday. According to The Guardian, which published the story on November 4, 2026 under the Associated Press byline, the person spoke on condition of anonymity. The report's headline described the Ravens as near a trade with the Cardinals amid what it called a quarterback injury crisis.

The Guardian also reported injuries at the quarterback position in Baltimore. Lamar Jackson is out indefinitely with an injured thumb, the report said. Backup Huntley is to miss the rest of the season with turf toe, and rookie Fagnano will start for the Ravens on Thursday, according to The Guardian.

The Guardian's headline and summary differ on the status of the deal. The headline describes the Ravens as near a trade, while the summary says Brissett is heading to Baltimore. The excerpt available for this report does not say whether the trade has been finalized, what either team would give or receive in return, or whether the Cardinals or the Ravens have commented. Those points are absent from the excerpt rather than contradicted by it.

The summary is cut off mid-sentence where it describes the anonymity of the source, so the full Guardian article may include further details that are not reflected here. This account is limited to what the headline and summary state and does not independently confirm the trade, which the Associated Press reported through an anonymous person.
