The Facts: The Ravens don't hold their first full-team practice of camp until July 30, but rookies and players recovering from injuries begin reporting later this week for some early workouts. Flacco said Monday, via Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun, that he will report to camp on Friday and be on the field Saturday.
Diehards Line:
Flacco, coming off a torn ACL, has maintained all along he'd be on the field for the start of training camp. That clearly hasn't changed. As PFT notes, with some time before the full start of camp, Flacco will have a chance to start getting his legs under him before the entire squad is back to work. From there, the next big milestone should be taking his first hit since the injury although that will have to wait until the Ravens find themselves on the field against another team.
