Joe Flacco – Noteworthy – Injury
QB Joe Flacco played the entire game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday despite being injured early, but even the bye week might not have him ready to face the Cincinnati Bengals on Nov. 18.
Flacco, who reportedly is undergoing tests for a hip injury, was hit by Steelers defensive end Stephon Tuitt, who drove Flacco to the ground on the sixth play of the game. Tuitt was called for being offside, and on the next play, Cameron Heyward also hit Flacco, who remained in the game and completed 23-of-37 passes for 206 yards in a 23-16 loss to the Steelers, but seemed to be bothered by the injury. Flacco did not sit on the bench, but remained on his feet, walking the sidelines and occasionally stretching when the Baltimore defense was on the field. Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reported on Friday that Flacco is dealing with an injury that puts his status in question for the Bengals game.
