The Baltimore Ravens waived former UFL quarterback Austin Reed to finalize the acquisition of veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett from the Arizona Cardinals. Baltimore made the trade following severe injuries to Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley, which previously forced undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano into action during a 36-10 blowout loss against Buffalo.
