According to reports, Lamar Jackson is in line to get his third start when the Baltimore Ravens travel to Atlanta to play the Falcons. As it has been told by multiple sports reporters including ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Jamison Hensley and NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, Joe Flacco hasn’t been medically cleared to play.
There are a few important things to break down here. The first thing is that Flacco hasn’t been cleared, but that doesn’t mean he won’t be cleared in time to play. That’s still something that is very up in the air. Even if Flacco is cleared to return to the practice field, Lamar Jackson has been the quarterback on the field for the last two weeks.
