News

  • Won't start this week

    Flacco (personal reasons) is participating in meetings virtually, but won't practice with the Jets until Friday, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: As a result, the veteran QB, who the team traded for earlier this week, is not an option to start Sunday's game against the Bengals in place of Zach Wilson (knee). Mike White is thus in line for his first NFL regular-season start, while either Flacco or Josh Johnson will serve as the Jets' backup this weekend. With Wilson in line to miss time beyond Week 8, Flacco is a candidate to move into a starting role down the road, but as for when that might happen, coach Robert Saleh noted Wednesday…read more

  • Headed to Jets

    The Eagles are slated to trade Flacco to the Jets in exchange for a conditional draft pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Per Schefter, the pick will be a conditional sixth-rounder that could become a fifth-round choice, depending on Flacco's playing time. The Jets are making the move with rookie starter Zach Wilson in line to miss time with a PCL injury. While Flacco -- who worked behind Sam Darnold with New York in 2020 -- isn't stepping into an ideal team context, he's an upgrade over current backup Mike White and thus is worth a look for those scrambling for depth in two-QB formats.

  • Could still be No. 2 QB?

    The Eagles plan to keep Flacco even after trading for Gardner Minshew on Saturday, John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Minshew will start off as the No. 3 quarterback in Philadelphia, though most would say he's better than Flacco at this point in their respective careers. The Eagles plan to roster three quarterbacks this year, with the third being Week 1 starter Jalen Hurts.

  • Finds new home in Philly

    The Eagles and Flacco agreed to a contract Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Flacco retains his journeyman status backing up a young quarterback. In stints with the Broncos and Jets following his 11-year tenure with the Ravens, he completed 61.9 percent of his passes for 2,686 yards, 12 touchdowns and eight interceptions in 13 games (12 starts). Flacco will serve as the primary backup to second-year signal-caller Jalen Hurts in Philadelphia.

  • Six TDs in four starts overall

    Flacco finishes the 2020 season with 864 yards, six touchdowns and three interceptions.

    Analysis: Flacco compiled those numbers over five appearances (four starts) while going winless for a Jets team that finished 2-14. He'll likely land a role as a veteran backup somewhere next season on a contract similar to the one-year pact he signed with New York in 2020.

  • Returns to backup role

    Flacco will revert to a backup role with Sam Darnold (shoulder) cleared to play Sunday against the Dolphins, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Flacco didn't exactly light it up with Darnold sidelined, completing 54.5 percent of his passes, averaging 212 yards per game and throwing six touchdowns versus three interceptions in four spot starts. Now relegated to reserve duty, Flacco likely will need another injury -- or aggravation of Darnold's right throwing shoulder -- before he'll get another chance under center.

  • Throws two TDs vs. Chargers

    Flacco completed 15 of 30 pass attempts for two touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Flacco completed just half his passes and averaged a lackluster 6.8 yards per attempt while throwing a pick-six on his second drive. He turned things around in the second half, completing touchdown passes on his first two possessions, and he finished with a respectable fantasy line by his standards. Flacco, who has 467 yards and a 5:2 TD:INT over the last two games, could start again next Sunday against the Dolphins if Sam Darnold (shoulder) is unable to play, but he could find the going tough…read more

  • Will start again Week 11

    Flacco will start under center in this Sunday's game versus the Chargers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The Jets were hoping Sam Darnold (shoulder) would be ready following the Week 10 bye, but they're being cautious with his recovery and will keep him on the sidelines for another week. Flacco struggled a bit in his first two starts of the year before turning it around in the Week 9 loss to New England when he completed 72 percent of his passes for 262 yards, three touchdowns and an interception. His deep ball was quite good, too, and he showed a strong connection with both Breshad Perriman and…read more

  • Throws three TDs in loss

    Flacco completed 18 of 25 passes for 262 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in Monday night's 30-27 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Flacco enjoyed an excellent start to the game, beating the Patriots' secondary with a couple vintage deep balls. He first found Breshad Perriman with a 50-yard touchdown to begin the second quarter, then dropped in a beautiful 20-yarder to Jamison Crowder just before halftime. With another TD connection with Perriman in the third -- this time from 15 yards -- Flacco put the Jets in a strong position to seal their first win, but a fourth-quarter interception and other team miscues undid that…read more

  • Gets another start Monday

    Flacco will start Monday against the Patriots for the injured Sam Darnold (shoulder), who is inactive.

    Analysis: Darnold aggravated his right shoulder injury in the Jets' Week 8 loss at Kansas City, setting the stage for Flacco to see action for the fourth time this season. While his completion percentage is only 52.0 with 397 yards, one touchdown and one interception in three appearances, Flacco will have the Jets' top three wide receivers available (Jamison Crowder, Breshad Perriman and Denzel Mims) for the first time all year. Flacco will look to exploit a Patriots defense that has allowed an NFL-worst…read more

  • Likely starting Monday

    Flacco is expected to start Monday against the Patriots after Sam Darnold re-injured his throwing shoulder, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: Add yet another marker to a bizarre season for Jets quarterbacks. Darnold injured his shoulder in a Week 4 contest against the Broncos, missing two games only to return and post relatively mundane numbers in losses to the Bills and Chiefs, respectively. The 2018 first-round pick evidently re-injured his shoulder in the latest aforementioned loss, although both Darnold and coach Adam Gase seemed to suggest earlier in the week the injury wasn't particularly serious. The tune has certainly changed…read more

  • Likely returning to backup role

    Jets head coach Adam Gase said Friday that he expects Sam Darnold (shoulder) to start Sunday against the Bills, likely relegating Flacco to backup duties, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

    Analysis: While Darnold was sidelined for the last two games with a sprained shoulder, Flacco oversaw an unproductive offense in blowout losses to the Cardinals and Dolphins, completing only 39 of 77 passes (50.6 percent) for one touchdown, one interception and just 4.9 yards per attempt. Though Darnold may still end up carrying a designation into the weekend after being a limited participant through the Jets' first two practices of the week, Gase noted the young signal-caller is "trending in the right…read more

  • Shut down by Dolphins

    Flacco completed 21 of 44 passes for 186 yards with an interception in Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: The Jets got absolutely nothing going on offense in this one, and the closest they came to putting points on the board was when Sam Ficken missed a 55-yard field goal attempt late in the third quarter. Flacco has failed to throw for 200 yards in either of his starts this season, but with Sam Darnold (shoulder) not yet practicing, the veteran QB could find himself under center again in Week 7 against the Bills.

  • Will draw another start

    Jets head coach Adam Gase said Flacco will start Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: With Sam Darnold still dealing with pain in his throwing shoulder, the Jets plan to proceed cautiously with him, paving the way for Flacco to make his second consecutive start. The veteran signal-caller completed 18 of 33 passes for 195 yards and a touchdown in the Week 5 loss to the Cardinals, so it's hard to get fired up about his fantasy prospects this week while helming an 0-5 squad. The Jets have moved on from top running back Le'Veon Bell, but on the plus side, the team could add Breshad…read more

  • Gets little help in loss

    Flacco completed 18 of 33 passes for 195 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cardinals. He added 20 rushing yards on four carries.

    Analysis: The veteran quarterback didn't play too badly in his first start as a Jet, but his offensive line didn't give him much time and his receivers dropped a number of catchable passes. Flacco could get another start in Week 6 against the Chargers with Sam Darnold (shoulder) lacking a clear timetable for his return, but the state of the roster around them makes it unlikely either QB will be able to put up solid numbers any time soon.

  • Set to start in Week 5

    Jets head coach Adam Gase said Wednesday that Flacco will start at quarterback in Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: According to Cimini, Sam Darnold (shoulder) won't be available Sunday and is being viewed as week-to-week, so Flacco could log more that one start while the Jets' top signal-caller recovers from an injury. Leading an 0-4 team with a banged-up wideout corps isn't an optimal context from a fantasy perspective, but Flacco is at least an experienced veteran option whose presence should allow the Jets to proceed cautiously with Darnold.

  • Throws two passes in Jets debut

    Flacco completed both of his pass attempts for 16 yards in Thursday's 37-28 loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: Flacco saw some brief game action in the first half with Sam Darnold in the locker room with what turned out to be a sprained shoulder. Darnold was cleared to return to the game, pushing Flacco back into a bench role. The 35-year-old quarterback's appearance settled any question about his readiness for game action following neck surgery, so it's safe to pencil Flacco in as Darnold's top backup moving forward.

  • Officially active Thursday

    Flacco will serve as the Jets' backup quarterback Thursday versus the Broncos, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.

    Analysis: As of Tuesday, Flacco wasn't sure if he'd be ready for the No. 2 gig behind Sam Darnold, but the coaching and medical staffs have come to the conclusion that he's officially recovered from surgery to repair a herniated disc in his neck. If he makes his way onto the field Thursday, it'll mark his first appearance since Oct. 27 of last season, when he was a member of the Broncos.

  • Not ready to seize backup duties

    Flacco (neck) doesn't expect to be the backup quarterback Thursday against the Broncos and said he's relying on the medical staff to decide when he's ready for game action, Andy Vasquez of USA Today Sports reports.

    Analysis: It remains to be seen whether the Jets dress Flacco as an emergency third-stringer or leave him sidelined come game day, but it sounds like Mike White will back up Sam Darnold for a fourth consecutive game to open the season. Flacco is practicing in full for a second consecutive week, so it's unclear what more he needs to do to be deemed ready to see the field.

  • Absent from injury report

    Flacco (neck) wasn't listed on Monday's injury report and is expected to suit up Thursday versus the Broncos, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Flacco was expected to be ready for this past Sunday's loss to the Colts, but he was ultimately a scratch. Cleared of the injury again, Flacco will prepare to back up Sam Darnold in Thursday's game. Although Darnold is coming off a rough outing, his surroundings have been less than ideal, so Flacco likely won't play unless Darnold suffers an injury.

  • Won't play Sunday after all

    Contrary to previous reports, Flacco (neck) is still bothered by his injury and will be inactive Sunday against the Colts, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Flacco practiced and looked healthy this week, but he's not ready to see game action yet. Mike White will back up Sam Darnold in Indianapolis while Flacco will set his sights on a possible Week 4 return Thursday against the Broncos.

  • Good to go Sunday

    Flacco (neck) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Colts, Ralph Vacchiano of SNY.tv reports.

    Analysis: The veteran quarterback has been practicing in full all week and should be good to go come Week 3. Flacco's not expected to see the field unless starting quarterback Sam Darnold is benched or hurt, though if coach Adam Gase has any two-quarterback personnel groupings in his playbook, this would be the week to use them; New York will have at most three wide receivers available due to a rash of injuries, and it could be as few as two if the questionable Braxton Berrios (hamstring) can't go.

  • Turns in first full practice

    Flacco (neck) practiced fully Wednesday and is expected to be available for Sunday's game against the Colts, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Flacco had been eyeing a Week 3 return since before the season started, and the veteran quarterback's return to full practice suggests he'll meet that goal. He's slated to serve as Sam Darnold's backup as the struggling New York offense looks to spring an upset in Indianapolis this weekend.

  • Nearing return

    Flacco (neck) will have another medical checkup early this week and appears close to being cleared for full activity, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.

    Analysis: If Flacco indeed manages to gain full medical clearance in the coming days, the Jets may opt to activate him on game day for Week 3's matchup versus the Colts. As soon as he's officially available, Flacco stands to usurp rookie James Morgan as the primary backup to Sam Darnold.

  • Inactive for Week 2

    Flacco (neck) is listed among the Jets' inactive players for Week 2, per the team's official Twitter account.

    Analysis: The Super Bowl-winning quarterback was unable to participate in training camp, but he has been partaking in practice in a limited capacity since Sept. 9. He's been activated off the PUP list and continues to pursue a possible Week 3 return to bolster the backup position behind Sam Darnold.

  • Gets in limited practice

    Flacco (neck) has passed a physical and was able to practice on a limited basis Wednesday, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.

    Analysis: Flacco is aiming to be healthy by Week 3, and a return to practice before the season opener -- albeit in a limited fashion -- bodes well for the veteran quarterback's hopes of meeting his goal. Until Flacco is ready to return, rookie James Morgan will be tasked with holding down the fort behind starter Sam Darnold.

  • Hopes to return in Week 3

    Flacco (neck) hasn't practiced yet but hopes to be ready for Week 3's matchup versus the Colts, ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Flacco didn't participate in training camp but passed his physical and was activated off the PUP list Saturday. However, he won't be ready right away, so rookie James Morgan will serve as Sam Darnold's backup to begin the year. Flacco has been increasing the intensity of his workouts, though, so it's realistic that he'll be ready to usurp Morgan as the primary backup before Week 3.

  • On team's active roster

    Flacco (neck) has passed his physical and will open the season the Jets' active roster.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, fellow QB's David Fales and Mike White were cut by the team, with Flacco in line to back up Sam Darnold this coming season along with James Morgan. It remains to be seen how close to 100 percent Flacco is at this stage, but more will be known on that front once the Jets start practicing next week.

  • Adds intensity to workouts

    Flacco (neck) was spotted doing dropbacks, rollouts and light throwing on a side field during Sunday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: While Cimini notes that Flacco wasn't going at full speed during the workout, the activity nonetheless represents a step forward for the veteran quarterback, who joined the Jets on a one-year deal in May. Flacco was placed on the PUP list in late July, and though he's unlikely to be available for Week 1, New York is still expected to activate him before the season gets underway. Once he receives full clearance, Flacco will serve as the top backup to Sam Darnold.

  • Slated to only miss a bit of 2020

    Flacco hasn't had any setbacks following his neck surgery in May and is only expected to miss one or two games to begin the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Flacco was placed on the PUP list earlier last week, but it seems as if the veteran quarterback should be available no later than Week 3 of the new campaign. The 35-year-old is expected to serve as the backup to Sam Darnold.

  • Lands on PUP list

    Flacco (neck) has been placed on the active/Physically Unable to Perform list, Randy Lange of the Jets' official site reports.

    Analysis: Flacco, who underwent a disc repair procedure in early April, has already conceded that he won't be available in time for Week 1, so this comes as no surprise. Once he's cleared for action, the 35-year-old signal-caller will serve as Sam Darnold's top backup.

  • Set to miss season opener

    Flacco (neck) confirmed Tuesday he won't be healthy in time for the Jets' season opener against the Bills on Sept. 13, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: This was speculated after the veteran quarterback underwent a disc repair procedure in early April, and the Jets were aware of the recovery timeline when they signed him to a one-year, $1.5 million deal last week. Flacco will serve as the top backup to Sam Darnold once healthy, but David Fales and rookie James Morgan will compete in training camp for the job until the veteran is able to suit up. Flacco could still be cleared for contact sometime in September.

  • Likely set for contact in September

    Flacco (neck) is currently throwing and expects to be ready for contact in mid-September, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 35-year-old joined the Jets on a one-year, $1.5 million deal this week, but it doesn't appear he'll be ready to go for the season opener. It's not a major surprise since Flacco underwent a disc repair procedure in early April, and it's about on par with his initial recovery timeline. He's poised to serve as the top backup to Sam Darnold once healthy, but David Fales and rookie James Morgan should also compete for the role in training camp for Week 1.

  • Lands one-year deal with Jets

    Flacco (neck) agreed to a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Jets on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Flacco isn't automatically considered a starter at this point in his career, but he will get an opportunity to serve in a backup role to Sam Darnold when he's healthy. Per Schefter, Flacco is expected to be available for non-contact work when training camp begins and figures to be cleared in full in September. He opened 2019 as the starter for the Broncos, but a neck injury cost him the back half of the campaign after he compiled 1,822 passing yards and a 6:5 TD:INT ratio over eight games.…read more

  • Status to open season in question

    Flacco (neck) underwent a disc repair procedure in early April and is targeting clearance between late August and mid-September, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Flacco doesn't have a clear path to a starting gig next season at this point, but he could serve as a valuable backup and potentially a mentor somewhere. If the NFL schedule remains on track, Flacco would be ready to roll right around the start of the 2020 campaign.

  • Waived by Broncos

    Flacco (neck) will be waived by the Broncos with a failed physical designation, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Parting ways with Flacco cements Drew Lock's status as the Broncos' top signal caller going forward. Assuming Flacco is able to move past the neck issue that shortened his 2019 season, the 35-year-old will look to catch on with another team looking to fill a need at QB.

  • Encouraging injury news

    Flacco underwent an MRI on his neck and received good news, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: The results will be sent to Dr. Andrew Dossett in Dallas for a second opinion, so while things are headed in the right direction, the 35-year-old quarterback still needs to get over some hurdles. Furthermore, whether Flacco returns to action likely depends on what type of risk it would pose to his long-term health.

  • Finishes season with 1,822 yards

    Flacco (neck) completed 171 of 262 passes for 1,822 yards, six touchdowns and five interceptions during an injury-shortened 2019 campaign. He added 20 yards on 12 carries and fumbled the ball eight times during his eight games played.

    Analysis: The 2019 season probably wasn't what Flacco and the Broncos expected following his offseason trade from Baltimore. The veteran passer's big arm was seldom on display as he seemed to lack his old mobility to roll out and buy time. Instead, the veteran often stood still in the pocket and dumped the ball off before ending his season eight games in with a neck injury. His play tailed off before that as he averaged just 6.0 yards per attempt and no touchdowns in his final three games. There were…read more

  • Decision on surgery coming in January

    Flacco (neck) said Monday he expects to undergo an MRI at some point in January to determine whether he'll need surgery to address a herniated disc, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Once Flacco gains clarity on the extent of his injury situation, he noted that he would first decide whether he wants to continue his career before meeting with the Broncos' brass. Flacco is due $20.25 million in 2020 and $24.25 million in 2021, so he would have plenty of incentive to keep playing if doctors give him a favorable prognosis moving forward. The 34-year-old said that he would be willing to serve as a backup to Drew Lock if he sticks around with Denver next season.

  • Holding off on surgery

    Coach Vic Fangio said Friday that Flacco plans to treat the herniated disc in his neck with rest and rehab rather than undergoing surgery, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Since Flacco is expected to be withheld from activity for six weeks before being re-evaluated by the Broncos' medical staff and other physicians, Denver made the decision Friday to place him on injured reserve, spelling an end to his first season with the team. Fangio noted that Brandon Allen will step in as the Broncos' new starting quarterback "for now," with the fourth-year pro slated to make his NFL debut Sunday against the Browns. Rookie Brett Rypien was promoted from the practice squad…read more

  • Officially shut down for season

    The Broncos will place Flacco (neck) on injured reserve Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: With Flacco due to miss at least 4-to-6 weeks after he was diagnosed with a herniated disc in his neck, the 2-6 Broncos determined the veteran wasn't worth keeping on the 53-man roster for the slim possibility of a late-season return. Flacco's placement on IR almost certainly spells an end to his tenure with the Broncos, who will turn to Brandon Allen as their new starting quarterback Sunday versus the Browns. Allen's performance in that outing will likely dictate whether he sticks atop the…read more
