Ravens QB Flacco back at practice

-

Ravens quarterbac­k Joe Flacco has returned to the practice field for the first time since injuring his right hip Nov. 4. Having finally received medical clearance to play, Flacco threw passes and worked on handoffs with fellow quarterbac­ks Lamar Jackson and Robert Griffin III during an indoor practice Thursday.

Jackson, a 2018 first-round pick, led Baltimore to wins in each of the past two games while filling in for the injured Flacco. Although coach John Harbaugh has not named a starting quarterbac­k for Sunday’s game in Atlanta, it appears likely Jackson will get the call.

Flacco has missed only eight games in his 11-year career and had played in 41 consecutiv­e regular-season games before injuring his hip against Pittsburgh in Week 9.

Bills: The wife of Hall of Fame quarterbac­k Jim Kelly says her husband has undergone what is hoped to be his last cancer-related surgery. On Instagram, Jill Kelly posted a picture of the former Bills star giving a thumbs-up sign from a hospital bed in New York City. Her comment said “all went as planned!” In an earlier post, Jill Kelly said doctors told the couple it should be the 58-year-old’s last surgery.

Bears: Quarterbac­k Mitchell Trubisky appears likely to sit out another game with a shoulder injury when the Bears face the Giants. Trubisky is considered “day to day” by coach Matt Nagy and practiced for the second straight day on a limited basis. Chase Daniel continued to work with the first team and an NFL.com report said the Bears have already made a decision to start him.

Jets: New York’s starting QB is TBD. Sam Darnold and Josh McCown were both lim- ited at practice for the second straight day, leaving it uncertain who will be under center Sunday at Tennessee.

Packers: Receiver Randall Cobb (hamstring) practiced Thursday and appears set to play for the first time since Week 9 when Green Bay faces Arizona on Sunday.
