Jacoby Brissett is set to take the first snap for the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, September 13. Entering his 11th NFL season, the quarterback has spent the past six weeks training in the offensive system installed by coach Mike LaFleur. Brissett previously served as a starting quarterback under chaotic circumstances for several other franchises, but he noted that this year’s preparation has been more consistent. Marvin Harrison Jr. indicated that Brissett’s ability to process defenses while turning his back during play action fits the team's scheme. While the Cardinals are not expected to contend for a playoff spot, Brissett aims to provide stability for the organization as it plans for the future. He remains focused on his individual goals after entering the league with expectations of a much shorter career.
