OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Joe Flacco took his most significant step toward returning Friday, when the Baltimore Ravens longtime starting quarterback fully practiced for the first time since injuring his right hip on Nov. 4.
Flacco has yet to be cleared to play in a game, but doctors could do so before Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. In Flacco's absence, first-round pick Lamar Jackson became only the second rookie quarterback in nine seasons to win his first three starts (Carson Wentz was the other).
While the expectation is Jackson will start Sunday's game, coach John Harbaugh wouldn't say whether he has a decision to make at starting quarterback going forward.
