Joe Flacco's Week 9 Status in Doubt With AC Joint Sprain
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco (shoulder) is dealing with an AC joint sprain, leaving his status for Week 9 against the Chicago Bears uncertain. Flacco suffered the injury late in Sunday's loss to the New York Jets, briefly exiting before returning to finish the game. If he's unable to play, Jake Browning would start in his place. The 40-year-old Flacco has been excellent in his three starts with Cincinnati, throwing for 801 yards and eight touchdowns. A Browning start would be a downgrade for Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Chase Brown, all of whom have benefited from Flacco's steady play. Fantasy managers should closely monitor this situation heading into the weekend. UPDATE: Flacco is not practicing on Wednesday.
