Report: Flacco battling hip injury, availability out of bye uncertain

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is dealing with a hip injury that could jeopardize his availability versus the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11 following the team's bye, sources told Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic.

The severity of Flacco's ailment is unclear.

The 33-year-old reportedly injured his hip early in the first quarter of Baltimore's Week 9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He went 23-of-37 for 206 yards in that contest as he and the Ravens suffered their third consecutive defeat.

If Flacco is forced to miss time, the Ravens will turn to rookie Lamar Jackson or veteran Robert Griffin III at quarterback.

The Ravens elected not to practice during their bye in an effort to get several ailing players healthy.
