The Baltimore Ravens are preparing for a significant transition at the quarterback position as they navigate the injury recovery of Lamar Jackson.
Running back Derrick Henry recently shared his perspective on the arrival of veteran Jacoby Brissett, who is set to lead the offense against the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night.
According to “reporting from Yahoo Sports,” the two players share a long history, having entered the NFL in the same draft class.
Now in their 11th seasons, Henry believes Brissett possesses the necessary professional experience to step into the starting role effectively.
Henry emphasized the importance of the team supporting their new starter during this adjustment period.
“We obviously got him so he can help us,” “Henry told reporters during a recent media session.”
The running back noted that the team is working to help the veteran quarterback get acclimated to the new offensive scheme.
“He knows how to come in and approach it every day,” “the Ravens Wire reported.”
Beyond his technical skills, Henry highlighted the calm demeanor Brissett has displayed since joining the organization.
The veteran quarterback has been working to learn the playbook quickly despite the short timeline provided by the injury situation.
While the team is focused on the upcoming game, they remain committed to the recovery of their primary starter.
“We just want Lamar to heal and rehab, and when he’s ready to come back, he’ll be ready,” “Henry stated regarding Jackson’s status.”
The Ravens hope to build necessary timing and chemistry between Brissett and the rest of the unit before kickoff.
Success on Monday will likely depend on effective communication, proper protection calls, and the ability of the offense to avoid long-yardage situations.
The organization is prioritizing a measured approach to Jackson’s return while trusting Brissett to manage the game effectively.
Both outlets reported that the team is ready to move forward with the veteran under center.
