The Facts: The Ravens might have to go with Lamar Jackson out of necessity. Flacco is dealing with a hip injury that puts his status for next Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals in question, sources told The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec. The severity of the injury is unclear.
Diehards Line:The injury occurred on the Ravens’ sixth play from scrimmage in last Sunday’s 23-16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers as defensive end Stephon Tuitt drove Flacco to the ground. On the very next play, Cameron Heyward also hit the QB. Flacco finished the game and didn’t miss any plays, but it seemed like his hip was bothering him throughout. We'll be watching for more, but this could be the opening to get Jackson in the lineup.
