Ravens' Flacco: Knee still not 100 percent

Although Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco has been a full participant in training camp, eight months removed from a season-ending knee injury, he's still apprehensive about the injury.

"My knee is not 100 percent," Flacco said Tuesday, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN, "but it feels great.

"I don't think about it when I'm out there. It's not perfect. I can feel it standing here right now a little bit. It's not totally normal. But, as far as going out there and operating on the field, running around and doing things, I don't pay attention to it."

Flacco could sit out the entire preseason, but he hasn't ruled it out altogether.

"I've played plenty of games. The biggest reason to get back out there is to get back in live action and see what it feels like again," Flacco said. "It doesn't take too long to do that. Whatever we do, it will be for a reason. Whatever happens, happens. I'm going to be comfortable either way."

The Ravens are hoping to rebound from a rare lottery-pick season in which they finished 5-11. To do so, it's imperative they have a healthy Flacco in the lineup.
