Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is unlikely to play Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, while backup Lamar Jackson is expected to take majority of the snaps, reports NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Flacco injured his hip two weeks ago but is not expected to have surgery, per Pelissero. The starter missed practice three times this week due to the injury and was listed as doubtful on the Ravens' injury report.
Despite Flacco's absence, coach John Harbaugh told reporters Friday that it didn't mean the starter couldn't play in Sunday's game.
Jackson, who has yet to start in his NFL career, missed practice Thursday due to an illness but returned Friday.
