Report: Joe Flacco set to start Bengals-Bears on Sunday
Our Summary
Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, but he is expected to start, according to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport. Flacco, who suffered an AC joint sprain in his shoulder during last week's game against the Jets, reported feeling good earlier this week. He was limited in practice on Thursday but did not participate on Wednesday or Friday.
Flacco has started three games for Cincinnati following a trade from Cleveland, completing 64.3% of his passes for 764 yards, seven touchdowns, and no interceptions. If Flacco cannot play, Jake Browning is set to take over as quarterback. The Bengals also elevated quarterback Sean Clifford from the practice squad to the active roster, making him the emergency third quarterback.
