Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco returned to practice Friday after missing two days with a right shoulder issue, but the team isn’t ready to say he’ll definitely be playing against the Jets this weekend.
Flacco has been listed as questionable for Sunday’s game at MetLife Stadium, which is also where Flacco hurt the shoulder during last week’s loss to the Giants. Coach John Harbaugh said it was “encouraging” to see Flacco on the field, but that he wasn’t “putting any labels” on the likelihood that the quarterback will play.
“We will see,” Harbaugh said at his Friday press conference. “We will see how he responds tomorrow. He is out there running around a little bit and throwing the ball a little bit. We will see what happens.”
Ryan Mallett would start in the event Flacco can’t play. The Ravens don’t have a third quarterback on their 53-man roster, but do have David Fales on their practice squad.
Linebacker Terrell Suggs, wide receiver Steve Smith, cornerback Shareece Wright and guard Marshal Yanda are all listed as doubtful after missing practice all week. Safety Kendrick Lewis has the same designation after missing Friday’s practice.
