Ravens' Joe Flacco intends to wear knee brace for entire season

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco will wear a protective brace on his surgically repaired left knee for all practices and regular-season games.

Flacco, who tore his anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments last November to end his season, will participate in the Ravens' first practice of training camp Thursday and believes proceeding with caution is the best route for him.

"If it helps a little bit, that's huge," Flacco said Wednesday of using the brace.

This will be only the second time in Flacco's nine-year career that he will wear a knee brace.
