2016 is a bad year to be a quarterback in the AFC North. Of the four teams in the division, only one of them is assured to start the quarterback on Sunday that they began the season with. We already, of course, know the situation with the Steelers and with the Browns, but this week the Baltimore Ravens are also facing the prospect of playing without Joe Flacco.
Flacco sat out practice on Wednesday and Thursday this week before being able to return on Friday, doing so as a full participant on a day in which practice usually isn’t much more than a walkthrough.
