  • 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. "Joe has every intention to play but not at the risk of his long-term health," Flacco's agent Joe Linta said. We'll have to wait to see how things progress, but Flacco isn't…read more

  • 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

  • Likely facing 4-to-6-week absence

    Flacco is expected to be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks after receiving a second opinion on the bulging disc in his neck, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Meanwhile, Mike Klis of 9News Denver relays that Flacco is likely to need the full six weeks to recover from the injury.

    Analysis: Before the Broncos clarify Flacco's timeline, he'll have his injury assessed by Dr. Robert Watkins in Los Angeles and Dr. Jack Kelley in Connecticut, a source tells Schefter. The initial opinions Flacco has received leave the Broncos optimistic that he won't require surgery, but that won't be confirmed until Watkins and Kelley have a chance to examine him. In any case, since he's likely to miss all of the Broncos' November slate and perhaps a portion of the December schedule, too, Flacco looks…read more

  • Could move to IR

    Coach Vic Fangio said Wednesday that there's "a chance" that Flacco (neck) will be placed on injured reserve, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Flacco is tending to a neck injury that could force him to miss as much as 5-to-6 weeks. While the veteran quarterback doesn't seem to be dealing with a career-threatening issue or one that is likely to require surgery, his ability to play again this season remains in flux. The deciding factor of whether to place Flacco on IR could come down to how well Brandon Allen shows in his first career start Sunday versus Cleveland. Additionally, the potential return of second-round pick Drew Lock…read more

  • Could be sidelined 5-6 weeks

    Flacco will receive a second opinion on his neck injury, but he could miss as much as 5-6 weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Flacco has likely avoided surgery and a career-threatening issue, but a trip to injured reserve isn't off the table, given the timeline and the Broncos' current record. Brandon Allen is expected to handle the starting duties under center, at least until second-round pick Drew Lock (thumb) is ready to return.

  • May be headed to IR

    Flacco (neck) could be placed on injured reserve, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The precise nature of the injury is unknown, but coach Vic Fangio termed it "a neck or disc issue," according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic. If Flacco eventually lands on IR, the Broncos likely will be without the veteran for the rest of the season. In Flacco's place, Brandon Allen will run the offense, at least until 2019 second-round pick Drew Lock has completed his recovery from a sprained right thumb.

  • Sitting out Sunday, at least

    Coach Vic Fangio said that Flacco won't play Sunday against the Browns due to a neck injury, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.

    Analysis: Flacco took a massive hit on the last play of this past Sunday's loss at Indianapolis, which may have aggravated a minor neck strain he's been dealing with of late, per Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com. On Monday, Fangio clarified Flacco's injury, telling Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic that it's "a neck or disk issue." While Flacco is set for a period of rehab, perhaps for multiple weeks, Brandon Allen will take over under center for the Broncos.

  • Furious after putrid performance

    Flacco completed 20 of 32 passes for 174 yards and added a nine-yard run during Sunday's 15-13 loss in Indianapolis. After the game, Flacco revealed that he has been dealing with a minor neck strain, Zac Stevens of BSNDenver.com reports.

    Analysis: During that same press conference, Flacco seemed throw offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello under the bus for running the ball on third down and five to go with less than two minutes left in the game and Denver leading 13-12. The veteran quarterback said that he would like for Denver to play a little more aggressive, but that's been hard to do with a banged-up offensive line and immobile quarterback. Flacco has gone without a touchdown in three consecutive games and has topped 200 yards…read more

  • Retaining starting job

    Coach Vic Fangio said Friday that Flacco would remain the Broncos' starting quarterback Week 8 in Indianapolis, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Through seven starts, Flacco is completing a career-best 65.6 percent of his passes for a respectable 7.2 yards per attempt, but he's seen those efficiency marks drop down to 62.9 percent and 6.3 YPA the past two weeks while accounting for no touchdowns and turning the ball over twice. Though the Broncos are now sitting at 2-5 and probably don't view the 34-year-old as part of their long-term future, he should have a decent hold on the starting job at least until second-round rookie Drew Lock…read more

  • Ball security issues in loss

    Flacco completed 21 of 34 passes for 213 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Broncos' 30-6 loss to the Chiefs on Thursday. He also committed three fumbles, losing one.

    Analysis: Flacco escaped with just one official turnover, but he lost the handle on three occasions while taking a beating in the form of eight sacks. The veteran quarterback once again honed in on a very tight circle of pass catchers, with 11 of his completions going to Courtland Sutton and Emmanuel Sanders and another four to running back Royce Freeman. Flacco has now gone back-to-back games without a touchdown pass and has just a 6:5 TD:INT on the campaign. He'll look to make much more of an impact…read more

  • Ho-hum in win

    Flacco completed 18 of 28 passes for 177 yards and lost a yard on four carries during Sunday's 16-0 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Flacco was largely ineffective Sunday's slugfest, including an awful underthrown interception off his back foot that bounced off tight end Noah Fant and into the arms of the defender to open the second half. He delivered when it mattered most, however, including a big third-down conversion to Courtland Sutton during Denver's final full drive to set up a field goal to put Denver ahead by 16.

  • Throws TD pass in win

    Flacco completed 14 of 20 pass attempts for 182 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Sunday's 20-13 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Flacco easily set a new low for pass attempts on the season, but he was relatively efficient with his opportunities and finished averaging 9.1 yards per attempt. A large chunk of his production came on a 70-yard touchdown pass to Courtland Sutton in the first quarter, while the defense and the running game took over to grind out the win. Flacco has still led the offense to more than 20 points on just one occasion this season, posting a 6:4 TD:INT across five games. He'll face another tough…read more

  • Puts up big performance

    Flacco completed 22 of 38 passes for 303 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Week 4 against Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Flacco got off to a hot start, throwing two touchdowns within the first 17 minutes of the contest. While he cooled off a bit from there, Flacco managed his first 300-yard performance since Sept. 30 and first three-touchdown effort since Week 1 of the 2018 season. While this type of performance shouldn't be counted on every week, Flacco has combined to throw for 595 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions in two home games this season. However, he and the Broncos will hit the road for a…read more

  • Turns it over twice

    Flacco completed 20 of 29 passes for 213 yards and an interception during Sunday's 27-16 loss in Green Bay. He added five yards on two carries and lost a fumble.

    Analysis: It was enough relatively efficient though unspectacular day for Flacco, but a pair of turnovers stifled any chance the Broncos had of winning. After tying up the game in the second quarter and getting the ball back in the closing moments of the half, Flacco was stripped inside the 10-yard line, setting up an easy Packers score. Later, with Denver driving late in the third quarter, he air mailed an interception. Flacco has been better than Denver's ugly start has indicated, but he did the team…read more

  • Big volume, little results

    Flacco completed 35 of 50 passes for 292 yards and a touchdown with one interception in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Bears.

    Analysis: While the raw numbers are solid, Flacco's 5.8 yards per attempt indicates just how ineffective he was against a tough Chicago defense. Even so, the veteran QB nearly led the Broncos to an upset win, putting together a 12-play drive capped by a seven-yard TD strike and then a two-point conversion, both to Emmanuel Sanders, to put Denver ahead 14-13 with 31 seconds left on the clock. Unfortunately, the Broncos' defense couldn't make it stick. Flacco will likely need to be sharper in Week 3 when…read more

  • Muted production in Week 1

    Flacco completed 21 of 31 pass attempts for 268 yards and one touchdown during Monday's 24-16 loss to Oakland.

    Analysis: Flacco earned a QBR of 38.5 despite decent outputs in completion rate and passing yardage, largely due to the fact that he offered few solutions prior to his team falling into a 14-0 hole. Denver's offense produced zero points on its first three drives, but Flacco found his groove in the second half by leading scoring drives on four of the Broncos' final five possessions. The loss drops Flacco to 1-5 over his past six starts for Denver and Baltimore, but at least the offensive attack carries…read more

  • Restructures contract

    Flacco restructured his contract Saturday, converting $17 million of base salary into a signing bonus while adding two voidable years extra onto his deal, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The bit of house cleaning frees up $13.6 million in cap space for the Broncos this season, which will roll over into the 2020 season if unused. Flacco could still be released next season without the team incurring too much of a cap penalty, but the possibility seems unlikely at the moment considering 2019 second-round pick Drew Lock (thumb) was placed on injured reserve, leaving unproven backup Brandon Allen as the only other quarterback on the roster.

  • Gets new backup

    The Broncos have picked up former Rams quarterback Brandon Allen to back up Flacco, Troy Renck of ABC 7 Denver reports.

    Analysis: As Renck notes, the Broncos were also interested in veteran Brian Hoyer, who has worked directly with offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello, but seem to have landed on Allen for the time being. Even if Denver ultimately picks up a more established option, Flacco has to be breathing a sigh of relief. He's been the clear top quarterback all offseason, but rookie Drew Lock (thumb) was showing enough incremental improvement through the preseason for fans to have been clamoring for him if Flacco…read more

    Flacco completed three of four passes for 19 yards in the Broncos' 22-14 preseason loss to the Seahawks on Thursday.

    Analysis: Flacco got the start after sitting out last Thursday's Hall of Fame Game and completed passes to Philip Lindsay, Tim Patrick and Royce Freeman before misfiring to Courtland Sutton on his final attempt. The veteran signal-caller is adapting to a new offense and teammates after spending the first 11 seasons of his career with the Ravens. While he didn't have Emmanuel Sanders (Achilles) at his disposal Thursday, it was important for Flacco to get reps with some of his other projected first-unit…read more

  • Expected to play Thursday

    Flacco is slated to start Thursday's preseason contest at Seattle, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Coach Vic Fangio confirmed as much Monday, but he's unsure how many series Flacco will get in his first game action as a Bronco. With No. 1 receiver Emmanuel Sanders still in recovery mode from a torn Achilles, Flacco won't have his full allotment of weapons until the regular season, at the very least. That said, the lack of Sanders allows Flacco to continue building a rapport with young wideouts Courtland Sutton, DaeSean Hamilton and Tim Patrick.

  • Promises improvement over Keenum

    Flacco has been more impressive in camp than Case Keenum was last season, Troy Renck of ABC 7 Denver reports.

    Analysis: Pessimists -- which, at this point, likely represent most Broncos fans -- might turn around and say that an improvement from Case Keenum may still equate to middling quarterback play. That much is true, but offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello's recent comments praising Flacco's arm strength, mobility and ability to operate in his scheme still carry weight. The odds are that, especially in an offense that will lean heavily on the run, Flacco's individual numbers will be average at best come…read more

  • Not worried about helping rookie

    Flacco said it isn't his job to help with the development of second-round pick Drew Lock, Troy Renck of ABC 7 Denver reports. "I am not worried about developing guys," Flacco said. "I don't look at that as my job. My job is to go out and win games for this football team."

    Analysis: The comments sound a bit harsh taken out of context, but Flacco is simply making the point that he's too busy learning a new offense and developing chemistry with new teammates to worry about what happens in Denver beyond 2019. He seems to have the full support of coach Vic Fangio, who said the 34-year-old quarterback will take all the first-team reps throughout the offseason program. Flacco's performance in recent seasons suggests Lock has a good chance to make starts before the end of the…read more

  • Will start ahead of Lock

    Despite Denver moving up to take Missouri quarterback Drew Lock, the plan is for Lock to back up Flacco, Mike Klis of 9News.com reports.

    Analysis: The start of Denver's draft probably couldn't have gone better for Flacco as Denver took a mismatch tight end, Iowa's Noah Fant and then a potential starter at guard in Kansas State's Dalton Risner. On the very next pick, the Broncos moved up for Lock, who general manager John Elway said was the team's top quarterback in the draft. The Broncos will beat the drum that Lock is just the backup.

    Despite trading for Flacco, the Broncos are set to hold workouts with each of the draft's presumptive top four quarterbacks, Nick Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jhabvala also reported that general manager John Elway joked a bit about perceptions that he's enamored with Missouri's Drew Lock and indicated that trading back from No. 10 might be difficult with a weak quarterback class. Certainly, there are some mixed signals here. If nothing else, it suggests -- despite Elway's comments that Flacco is entering his prime -- the team is going to exercise due diligence.

    The Ravens agreed in principle Wednesday to trade Flacco to the Broncos, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The trade won't become official until March 13, when the new league year begins. Baltimore was only able to net a 2019 fourth-round pick in exchange for the quarterback, who is scheduled to earn an $18.5 million base salary in 2019, per OverTheCap.com.

  • Likely headed elsewhere in 2019

    Coach John Harbaugh intimated last week that the Ravens likely won't retain Flacco for 2019, instead expecting to proceed with Lamar Jackson as their starting quarterback Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports. "Joe Flacco is going to play really well in this league. Joe can still play," Harbaugh said. "I think we saw that in the first half of the this season. Joe's going to have a market. A lot of teams are going to want Joe, because they understand that. I'll be in Joe's corner, wherever he's at, unless we play him."

    Analysis: After Jackson replaced an injured Flacco as starter in Week 11 and retained the top gig once the veteran was healthy again en route to guiding the Ravens to six wins in their final seven regular-season contests, there was never much of an expectation that Flacco was long for the roster. Due $18.5 million in 2019, Flacco is too pricey to be rostered as a backup, a reality Harbaugh acknowledged in his comments following the Ravens' wild-card loss to the Chargers on Jan. 6.

  • Uneven 2018 season

    Flacco appeared in nine games in 2018, completing 61 percent of his passes for 2,465 yards, 12 touchdowns, and six interceptions before suffering a hip injury and ultimately being replaced by rookie Lamar Jackson.

    Analysis: The Ravens' selection of Jackson in the first round of the 2018 draft signaled the end of the Flacco era in Baltimore, but it wasn't clear when exactly the changing of the guard would happen. Flacco kept the job out of camp and started out strong by completing 64.3 percent of his passes with eight touchdowns and two picks to lead the Ravens to a 3-1 record to begin the year. He regressed after that point, however, seeing his completion percentage drop to 58.7 and notching a 4:4 TD:INT ratio in…read more

    The Ravens are expected to move on from Flacco this offseason, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported on the "NFL GameDay Morning" program. "Look at Flacco's future, he's 33 years old, he's set to make $18.5 million next year. The Ravens are expected to move on from him this offseason," Rapoport said. "They'll incur $16 million of dead money, but, of course, they're not going to bring him back as a backup making $16 million."

    Analysis: Now having fully recovered from the right hip injury that sidelined him for the past four games, Flacco will suit up Sunday against the Buccaneers as the No. 2 quarterback for the first time in his career. With Lamar Jackson leading the team to a 3-1 record through his first four starts, the Ravens appear inclined to cast their lot with the rookie moving forward, leaving no room in 2019 for Flacco as an expensive backup. Given Flacco's underwhelming production over the last few years, teams in…read more

  • Active as backup Week 15

    Flacco (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers but will serve as the backup quarterback to Lamar Jackson.

    Analysis: Flacco practiced in full all week, so the active status was expected. However, with Jackson having forged a 3-1 record as a starter, he'll remain in the top job against a vulnerable Tampa defense in Week 15. Flacco's active status knocks Robert Griffin III back to an inactive designation.

  • Practices fully, but listed as questionable

    The Ravens list Flacco (right hip) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Flacco was listed as a full practice participant all week, so he'll presumably be available this weekend. In any case, assuming he's in uniform Sunday, he's be in line to back up Lamar Jackson, who has been confirmed as the Ravens' Week 15 starting QB.

  • Set for full practice

    Coach John Harbaugh said that Flacco (hip) would practice fully Wednesday and will face no restrictions as he returns to action in a backup role Sunday against the Buccaneers, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: With Flacco ready to go after missing the Ravens' previous four games with a strained right hip, Harbaugh was finally forced to make a tough decision between the veteran and Lamar Jackson as his starting quarterback. To little surprise, Jackson was named the Week 15 starter after sparking a dormant rushing attack over the past four weeks while leading the Ravens to wins in three of those contests. Jackson could still use some polish as a passer -- he's completed only 58.4 percent of his throws…read more

  • Slated for backup role

    Coach John Harbaugh said Flacco (hip) would serve as the backup to Lamar Jackson (ankle) in Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: After logging full practice participation last Friday before being listed as inactive for the fourth straight week ahead of Sunday's overtime loss to the Chiefs, Flacco seems to have just about moved past the right hip issue that has been plaguing him. Despite his improved health, Flacco will surrender the starting gig for the first time in his NFL career, in part due to his spotty play beforehand. Per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, Harbaugh said that he made the decision because he felt…read more

  • Could steal snaps from Jackson

    Coach John Harbaugh suggested Flacco (hip) will have a role Week 15 against Tampa Bay, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports. "It stands to reason that if Joe's ready to go, he'll be part of the game plan," Harbaugh said Monday. "He's too good of a player not to be."

    Analysis: Harbaugh seems to be hinting at splitting snaps between his two quarterbacks rather than having Flacco replace Lamar Jackson (ankle) as the starter. The team needs Jackson on the field to run the ball effectively, but he does leave a lot to be desired in obvious passing situations, even after showing some progress on that front during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Chiefs. Jackson's ankle injury adds another dimension to the situation, though both he and Harbaugh have downplayed the severity. If…read more

    Flacco (hip) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Despite advancing to full practice participation Friday and expressing confidence in the health of his right hip, Flacco will be sidelined for a fourth straight contest. The choice to make Flacco inactive might just be the coaching staff passing the buck on the tough decision of demoting Flacco the No. 2 role behind Lamar Jackson, who has guided the Ravens to a 3-0 record in the veteran's stead. Jackson will face his stiffest test to date against the 10-2 Chiefs, so if the rookie can generate…read more

  • Confident in health, but status TBD

    Flacco, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, is dealing with a small tear in his right hip but is rapidly approaching full health, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The specifics of the right hip injury Flacco has been dealing with for the past month hadn't been revealed, so Rapoport's report provides some illumination on that front. After sitting out the Ravens' last three games and practicing throughout this week -- including in full capacity Friday -- Flacco believes he's healthy enough to start. It's unclear if the Ravens agree with that assessment, however, or if they're even eager to hand the top gig back to Flacco if they are comfortable with his…read more

  • Still up in the air

    Flacco (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Kansas City.

    Analysis: Despite closing out the week as a full practice participant, Flacco still needs to gain clearance from the medical staff before he can be active for a game. He would likely be filling a backup role Sunday, as the Ravens have won three consecutive games utilizing a run-heavy offense with Lamar Jackson at quarterback. Coach John Harbaugh at one point mentioned the possibility of splitting snaps between his two quarterbacks, but he didn't bring up the idea this week. The Ravens haven't actually…read more

  • Still needs medical clearance

    Flacco (hip) practiced fully Friday but has yet to receive medical clearance for game action, though that could happen prior to Sunday's contest in Kansas City, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Coach John Harbaugh acknowledged the possibility of a scenario in which Flacco returns to active status and replaces Robert Griffin as the No. 2 quarterback, allowing Lamar Jackson to retain the starting job. The consensus among Ravens beat reporters is that the rookie is on track for at least one more start after leading the team to three consecutive victories against weak opponents.

    Flacco (hip) practiced Friday for the third straight day, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Flacco was able to practice all three days this week for the first time since injuring his hip in Week 9, but the report notes the quarterback still "appears to have a slight hitch when he moves around." Hensley's tidbit suggests Flacco may not be ready to play this weekend against the Chiefs, offering further fuel to the notion that Lamar Jackson will remain under center for the Ravens. An official update on Flacco's status for Sunday will come after Friday's practice concludes.

  • Looks better, not expected to start

    Flacco (hip) displayed improved mobility during Wednesday's practice, but Lamar Jackson is expected to get another Sunday in Kansas City, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Still a limited participant, Flacco needs medical clearance to play in a game and may be stuck in a backup role even after that happens. It makes sense for the Ravens to go with a run-first approach led by Lamar Jackson in Week 14, hoping to drain the clock and limit the number of total possessions while taking aim at a Chiefs defense ranked 31st in yards allowed per carry (5.1) for the season.

  • Will remain limited Wednesday

    Coach John Harbaugh said that Flacco (hip) would be a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, though it's expected the quarterback will increase his workload relative to what he was able to do last week, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Idle since Nov. 4 with the right hip injury, Flacco returned to practice in a limited fashion last Thursday and repeated the activity Friday before being ruled out ahead of Sunday's eventual 26-16 win over the Falcons. Flacco looks like a decent bet to upgrade to full participation in practice by Friday and gain medical clearance to play in the Ravens' Week 14 matchup with the Chiefs, though he may be forced to handle a backup role for the first time in his NFL career.

    Flacco (hip) will increase his practice workload in the coming days, with a decision on medical clearance likely waiting until the end of the week, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Regardless of whether he's already made a decision, coach John Harbaugh acknowledged the value in not revealing his preference between Flacco and Lamar Jackson as the starter at quarterback. There was no decision to make last week because Flacco didn't have medical clearance, but it sounds as if the 33-year-old has a real shot to be available for Week 14 in Kansas City.

Instead, Flacco looks to be trending toward a third straight absence, with Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports relaying that Lamar Jackson will remain Baltimore's starting quarterback for another week.

    Analysis: While Flacco was able to get some work in Friday, the report indicates he is "clearly not at full strength" and "limped while walking onto the practice field." As such, he could be ready to return to action at some point in the near future, but it appears as though he's trending toward a third straight absence Sunday against the Falcons.

  • Could split snaps with Jackson

    Coach John Harbaugh suggested Monday that Flacco (hip) could eventually split snaps with Lamar Jackson, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: While it hasn't been done by an NFL team in recent memory, there is some argument to be made for splitting snaps between the two quarterbacks. The Baltimore rushing attack has been far better with Jackson on the field, but he's struggled in obvious passing situations. Before any decision can be made, the Ravens need to figure out if Flacco will even be healthy enough to play Week 13 in Atlanta. On that note, the 33-year-old quarterback is visiting a doctor Monday to see if he can gain clearance…read more

Baltimore will have an interesting week if the 33-year-old makes it back to practice, with coach John Harbaugh already saying he has no intention to announce his starter for Week 13 in Atlanta.

  • Ruled out for Sunday

    Flacco (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: It's interesting to see Flacco officially ruled out after he was listed as 'doubtful' the previous week. It may be related to the matchup rather than indicative of a setback, considering the Ravens faced a potential playoff team (Cincinnati) last week and will now play host to the woeful Raiders. Whatever the case, Lamar Jackson is set to make another start as the centerpiece of a run-heavy game plan, while Flacco will hope to return Week 13 in Atlanta.

    Analysis: Of course, there's less urgency to get Flacco back on the field following the effort of Lamar Jackson in his first NFL start Sunday. In addition to completing 13 of 19 passes for 150 yards (with a pick), Jackson helped spark the Baltimore offense by running for 117 yards on 27 carries.

Looking ahead, ESPN's Jamison Hensley relays that Flacco will not require surgery to address his hip issue.

    Analysis: Surgery almost certainly would have spelled an end to Flacco's season, but the Ravens are apparently optimistic that the veteran signal-caller's injury isn't nearly that severe. According to the report, Flacco "should be ready" to go within the next week or two, though his availability for the Ravens' subsequent Nov. 25 contest against the Raiders is in "jeopardy," according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

However, Jeremy Bergman of NFL.com relays that Jackson wouldn't be guaranteed all the snaps behind center, as veteran backup Robert Griffin is also expected to have a role in the Baltimore game plan as the team looks to exploit the Bengals' 32nd-ranked pass defense (313.3 yards per game allowed).

Coach John Harbaugh said earlier in the week that Flacco could still play Sunday against the Bengals even if he doesn't practice beforehand, but the chances of that actually happening seem minimal.

It means Lamar Jackson could be under center after a Week 10 bye when the Ravens host the Bengals on Nov. 18.

    Analysis: Flacco had been enjoying one of his better seasons prior to his struggles the past two weeks in losses to Carolina and Pittsburgh. The Ravens aren't quite ready to make the switch to Lamar Jackson, but they could reassess if they fall out of the wild-card race in the AFC. A home loss to Cincinnati in Week 11 would put the team in an awfully tough position.

    Analysis: Flacco took a major step back in his home meeting with this AFC North rival after throwing for 363 yards and two touchdowns when these teams met in Pittsburgh in Week 4. The veteran quarterback has come back down to earth after a hot start, posting a 4:4 TD:INT over the past five weeks after opening with an 8:2 mark in the first four games. Flacco will hope to recapture that strong early-season form following Baltimore's Week 10 bye.
