Owings Mills, MD (SportsNetwork.com) – Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco was absent from Wednesday’s practice with what the team said was an illness — reportedly a cold that’s not expected to sideline him for this weekend’s game in Cleveland.<\/p>\n
Ravens coach John Harbaugh was asked if he expected Flacco back soon and said, “I don’t know. We’ll see.”<\/p>\n
Flacco, now in his seventh NFL season, has never missed a game. Not having him around was strange to some teammates.<\/p>\n
“It was weird,” said defensive lineman Haloti Ngata. “(Linebacker Terrell Suggs) and I were thinking, like, we’ve never actually been at a practice without Joe Flacco being out there. Whatever he has going on, I hope for all the best for him.”<\/p>\n
The Baltimore Sun reported Flacco’s illness was a cold that isn’t regarded as serious.<\/p>\n
Also missing practice for the 1-1 Ravens were defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan (knee) and tackle Eugene Monroe (knee). Cornerbacks Asa Jackson (concussion) and Lardarius Webb (back) were full participants in practice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
