The Facts: Flacco will start at quarterback for the New York Jets in their season opener against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.

Diehards Line: Flacco, New York's backup, will play instead of starter Zach Wilson, who is still recovering from a knee injury suffered during the preseason. HC Robert Saleh confirmed that Flacco will start against Baltimore, but also that Wilson won't be available for New York's first three games. The earliest the second-year QB can return is Week 4 against the Steelers. Saleh said Wilson will not go on injured reserve because he wants the signal-caller to practice the next few weeks. "This week, he's going to be off to the side with the trainers," Saleh explained, "and we'll slowly -- part of his rehab schedule -- start implementing him back into practice of the next couple of weeks."
