Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco will add to his uniform this season.
After tearing his ACL and MCL last year, Flacco said on the first day of training camp that he will wear a brace on his left knee both during practice and in games throughout the entire year.
“If it helps a little bit, that’s huge,” Flacco said. “I’m not going to leave it up to risk and then have something happen and say, ‘What if?’ I’m going to wear it. There’s no reason not to.”
Other quarterbacks, such as New England’s Tom Brady and Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger, have also adopted wearing a knee brace after major injuries.
