Joe Flacco is doing things that not many quarterbacks have with the Cleveland Browns at 38 years old.
But now heading into Week 16 and his third start, Flacco is on the injury report for Cleveland. The veteran quarterback has been limited with a calf injury.
On Thursday, LG Joel Bitonio (back), S Juan Thornhill (calf), DE Ogbo Okoronkwo (pectoral), LB Jordan Kunaszyk (calf), and LB Anthony Walker Jr. (knee) did not practice.
It is the second day that this list of players did not practice for the Browns, joined by DE Za’Darius Smith on Thursday due to a rest day. Bitonio is dealing with the back injury that flared up against the Bears. Tomorrow’s practice will be telling on who will play and who will not.
Okoronkwo still awaits tests to find out whether or not he will miss the rest of the season and go on the injured reserve. Cleveland’s linebacker depth would take a hit with both Walker and Kunaszyk out.
Flacco has not missed a practice with the calf injury so it doesn’t seem like a huge worry. He’s not very mobile, but he has been able to move around when needed. His mobility will be something to track against the Texans.
A full injury report will be made available this evening for both teams.
Joe Flacco hints at Browns getting a new player involved in the offense that would pay dividends
It would be big if the Browns could get him going.
