Ravens won't name starting QB vs. Bengals, Flacco doubtful

The Baltimore Ravens won't announce a starting quarterback ahead of Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals, but it isn't likely to be Joe Flacco.

Head coach John Harbaugh said Friday he intends to keep his quarterback plan a secret, according to The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec. Flacco, though, was declared doubtful on the injury report after missing practice throughout the week with a hip injury.

If Flacco is unable to play, the Ravens will give rookie Lamar Jackson his first career start or turn to veteran Robert Griffin III. Jackson missed Thursday's practice with an illness but was back on the field Friday.

The struggling Ravens are averaging just 18 points in their last five outings, going 1-4 over that span.
