Joe Flacco has dealt with two major injuries over the past two and half seasons. In Week 11 of 2015, Flacco tore his ACL in the waning minutes of a victory over the then St. Louis Rams, ending his season. While he missed the majority of the 2016 NFL preseason, he returned for the entirety of the regular season. Flacco injured his back during the 2017 offseason and missed the all of last year’s preseason.
The 33-year-old quarterback will now play in a preseason game for the first time since he appeared against the Detroit Lions in August of 2016.
