• Browns' Jacoby Brissett: Joins Cleveland as backup

  03/19/2022 •

  Brissett signed a one-year contract with the Browns on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Brissett's contract will be presumably be on the cheaper side considering the Browns just traded Case Keenum to the Bills on Saturday in lieu of paying him $7.1 million this season. Brissett was truly miserable as Tua Tagovailoa's backup last season finishing the season with 1,114 passing yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions across five starts, but the 29-year-old has a wealth of experience and has proven capable when forced into action in the past. Brissett is expected to back up newly acquired starter Deshaun Watson and could be forced to start a number of games if the aforementioned Clemson product is suspended for any duration of time.

• Dolphins' Jacoby Brissett: Makes five starts in 2021

  01/13/2022 •

  Brissett logged five starts (11 appearances) in 2021, and concludes the campaign with 141 completions on 225 pass attempts, for 1,283 yards, five touchdowns and four interceptions. Brissett was only able to lead Miami's offense to two wins during his time at the helm, and on the season he only averaged 5.7 yards per pass attempt. Though Brissett added 19 carries for 3.7 yards and a score, he also lost three of six fumbles. The 29-year-old veteran is now scheduled for free agency, meaning he will likely have to pursue his next backup gig elsewhere.

• Dolphins' Jacoby Brissett: Serviceable in spot start

  11/07/2021 •

  Brissett completed 26 of 43 passes for 244 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in the Dolphins' 17-9 win over the Texans on Sunday. He also rushed once for seven yards and lost a fumble. The veteran was called into action when Tua Tagovailoa was deemed a bit too risky a proposition to start the contest due to his finger fracture. Brissett performed reasonably well under the circumstances, although the pair of interceptions were a blemish. Brissett also encouragingly got Jaylen Waddle more involved downfield than in prior games, connecting with the talented rookie on eight occasions for 83 yards. The 28-year-old Brissett may be set for another start Thursday night against the Ravens if Tagovailoa is still considered too injured to helm the offense.

• Dolphins' Jacoby Brissett: Getting surprise start Week 9

  11/07/2021 •

  Brissett is expected to start Sunday's game against the Texans with No. 1 quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (finger/ribs) likely to be available only in a backup capacity, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Schefter notes that Tagovailoa hasn't healed as quickly as anticipated from a small fracture in the middle finger of his throwing hand, so Brissett will be in line to pick up his fourth start of the season. Because the Dolphins didn't add another quarterback to the roster prior to Saturday's deadline for Week 9 transactions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network relays that Tagovailoa is in line to back up Brissett. Over his previous three starts earlier this season while Tagovailoa dealt with fractured ribs, Brissett went 0-3 while completing 66.9 percent of his passes for 5.8 yards per attempt and a 4:1 TD:INT. Brissett also added 45 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries over that stretch.

• Dolphins' Jacoby Brissett: Limited in practice

  10/13/2021 •

  Brissett (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports. Brissett was able to check back into Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers after injuring his hamstring earlier in the contest, but he still seems to be dealing with lingering soreness. Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) resumed practicing Tuesday and is eligible to come off injured reserve this weekend against the Jaguars in London, but the Dolphins haven't yet brought him back to the active roster. For the time being, Miami's quarterback situation is uncertain, but Brissett would revet to the No. 2 role if Tagovailoa is cleared to play Week 6.
