The Baltimore Ravens kicked off their 2016 preseason campaign without their franchise quarterback under center.
Joe Flacco is coming off of a serious knee injury, and as such, it wouldn’t be wise to put him at excessive risk in any of the exhibition games. However, as much as people enjoy regurgitating the fact that the preseason is meaningless, getting some live game action can be important for a player coming back after a long absence.
Seeing playing time in a game, regardless of its significance, will be important for Flacco both physically and mentally. So when Saturday rolls around and the Ravens head to Lucas Oil Stadium to take on the Colts, how should we expect John Harbaugh to handle the return of number five?
