BALTIMORE -- Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is not expected to play Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter, leaving first-round draft pick Lamar Jackson as the team's expected starting quarterback.
It would be Jackson's first NFL start, giving Baltimore a chance to observe the player it drafted to be the team's quarterback of the future.
Flacco, listed as doubtful on the injury report, will not require surgery on his injured hip, a source told Schefter. He could miss the Ravens' game next Sunday at home against the Raiders as well, according to the source, but is not expected to miss much time beyond that.
