Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is nursing a hip injury that could threaten his availability for Sunday’s game against Cincinnati.

With the Ravens coming off a bye, Flacco received an additional week of rest and treatment after sustaining the injury on Nov. 4 in the opening minutes of a 23-16 loss to Pittsburgh.

Coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Flacco’s status against the Bengals is “up in the air” and could be a game-time decision.

If the 11-year veteran can’t go, either Griffin III or rookie Jackson will start for the first time with Baltimore. The team had a Week 10 bye after losing three-straight. The Ravens have also been wanting to get more snaps for Jackson before Flacco was injured, so this seems like it may be a good opportunity to turn things over to Jackson. Those in need of a QB, or in deep QB leagues, may want to consider picking him up if they didn't already.

Joe Flacco is having tests to determine the severity of his hip injury, source confirms. Going to be an interesting week in Baltimore.

The Ravens are on bye this week but that shouldn't stop you from adding Lamar Jackson if you are in a two quarterback or superflex league. There is some speculation this could end up keeping Flacco out for a prolonged period, and even if it doesn't, if the Ravens were thinking about making a move to Jackson to see what they have, this would be the perfect excuse, especially with the bye.

John Harbaugh is essentially sticking with Joe Flacco for now, but he has left an opening for Lamar Jackson.

Flacco's numbers have declined during Baltimore's three-game losing streak. He has thrown 12 touchdowns and six interceptions this season. His 84.2 passer rating ranks No. 25 and behind the likes of Ryan Tannehill and Eli Manning. What has hurt Flacco is playing behind a banged-up offensive line and throwing to receivers who've dropped the second-most passes in the NFL, the story all said. Harbaugh has opened the door for Jackson saying he wants more playing time for him.

The Baltimore Ravens became the first team in NFL history to score on their first 12 red-zone trips. A franchise known for shattering the record books for defense is now setting the standard for efficiency inside the 20-yard line.

According to the story, Flacco is being smart and accurate with the ball. Allen suddenly turns into Todd Gurley around the goal line. And, overall, it's been a team effort to remain perfect in the red zone, where seven players have punched the ball into the end zone. Only a few years ago, the Ravens were one of the worst teams inside the 20.

Some clarity here: My understanding is the Ravens aren’t trading RG3 and the plan is he’ll enter the season as No. 2 QB.

The rookie Jackson gets to sit and learn, according to Pelissero. RG3 showed enough this preseason that he will start the year backing up Flacco.

In what has become the signature play of this year's Baltimore Ravens training camp, quarterback Joe Flacco flung a tight spiral 30 yards downfield and wide receiver John Brown made a diving catch.

The deep pass -- which has been rare in Baltimore's offense in recent years—suddenly has become routine. Flacco is enjoying perhaps the best training camp of his 11-year career, and Brown is producing what might be the best summer any Ravens wide receiver has ever had.

As the story said, the big-play connection has been the biggest missing element to the Ravens' offense. The piece went on to say that over the past five seasons, Flacco is the worst-rated, deep-ball QB, but the trend could reverse if camp is any indication.

One of the final portions of the Ravens’ joint practice with the Los Angeles Rams on Monday pitted their offense against the Rams defense in a two-minute situation. In three possessions, the offense emerged with zero points. The opening series, with quarterback Joe Flacco under center, was the most promising, as the unit drove to Los Angeles’ 40-yard line. But on third down, Flacco overthrew a deep pass along the right sideline to wide receiver Chris Moore, and kicker Justin Tucker’s field-goal attempt from 58 yards missed wide left. The Ravens’ ensuing drives, led by rookie Lamar Jackson and Robert Griffin III, did not get close to crossing midfield.

According to the writer, the Rams defense tipped, batted, and slapped away numerous passes from the Raven QBs and also got a lot of pressure for would-be sacks.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh says rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson will be part of the quarterback rotation, even as Joe Flacco remains the starter.

“One way or another, he’s going to be out there, taking snaps,” Harbaugh told John Kryk of the Toronto Sun. “Lamar is also a weapon for us, who can play quarterback. And we’re going to play Lamar at quarterback,” Harbaugh said. “So we’re going to play all of our good players. I don’t see why we wouldn’t. You’ve got this first.”

The writing is already on the wall here for Flacco to not make it through the 2018 season as the starter. The Ravens have already been seen installing designed quarterback runs, and their offensive coaching staff has extensive time working with mobile quarterbacks like Michael Vick and Colin Kaepernick. Fantasy gamers already recognize that Jackson starting is a matter of when, not if, as he continues to go higher than Flacco in drafts.
