Flacco back soon

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco will soon return to practice, but he won’t play in a game before the team opens the regular season on Sept. 10 at Cincinnati. The Ravens announced Friday that Flacco’s progress from a back injury is “good,” and that he will begin practicing in the preseason. The 10-year pro has not taken a snap at training camp. Meanwhile, the Ravens say

offensive lineman Alex Lewis will miss the 2017 season with a shoulder injury. He will undergo surgery next week. Lewis played in 10 games last season. He missed one week with a concussion and was sidelined for five weeks with an ankle injury. Also on Friday, the Ravens revealed that rookie Tim White will have season-ending surgery on his thumb. White, a rookie free agent out of Arizona State, scored a touchdown

in Thursday’s victory over the Redskins.
