Injuries: Joe Flacco (hip) sits out Ravens practice

Will Joe Flacco be ready to return by this Sunday?

The Ravens quarterback did not practice Wednesday after missing last Sunday's game with a hip injury.

After Flacco suffered the injury in Week 9, the Ravens were hopeful the veteran QB could play against the Bengals in Week 11. But it wasn't to be, and rookie Lamar Jackson filled in dutifully, passing for 150 yards and rushing for another 117 on 27 carries in the 24-21 win.

Also not practicing in Baltimore were tackle James Hurst, guard Marshal Yanda, safety Eric Weddle, cornerback Tavon Young and defensive back Anthony Levine.

The Ravens are playing the Oakland Raiders in Baltimore on Sunday.

Here are the other injuries worth monitoring from Wednesday:

  1. Atlanta FalconsPro Bowl linebacker Deion Jones has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Saints. Jones, who suffered a broken foot in Week 1, was activated off injured reserve last week but did not play this past weekend.
  1. New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Brady injured the knee while catching a pass versus the Tennessee Titans in Week 10, NFL Network's Michael Giardi reported, per a source. Brady's availability for Sunday's game against the New York Jets is not in question, according to the source.

Tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle/back), guard Shaq Mason (calf) and running back Sony Michel (knee) were also limited in practice.

  1. The Indianapolis Colts will be without their starting center this week. Colts coach Frank Reich confirmed to reporters Ryan Kelly (knee) will miss Indy's game against the Miami Dolphins. Evan Boehm will start in Kelly's place. Kelly told reporters that he is waiting on second opinions from an MRI on his knee but is hopeful he will be able to play with a brace in the coming weeks. Kelly suffered the injury in Indy's win over the Tennessee Titans.
  1. Tennessee Titans coach Mike Vrabel said quarterback Marcus Mariotawas limited in practice after suffering a stinger in Sunday's loss to the Indianapolis Colts.
  1. Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey was a limited participant in practice because of a groin injury.
  1. The Cleveland Browns designated defensive back Terrance Mitchell (wrist) to return from injured reserve. Mitchell has not played since fracturing his wrist in Week 4.
  1. Carolina Panthers receiver Torrey Smith returned to practice Wednesday after missing four games with a knee injury.
  1. Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis expressed optimism to reporters that A.J. Green (toe) will return this Sunday against the Cleveland Browns this week. Green did not practice on Wednesday.
  1. The Chicago Bears officially listed starting quarterback Mitchell Trubisky as doubtful to play against the Detroit Lions. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Bears backup Chase Daniel is slated to start in place of Trubisky. Linebacker Aaron Lynch (concussion) and tight end Adam Shaheen (concussion) will both miss the Lions game.
  1. The Green Bay Packers activated wide receiver Jake Kumerow off of injured reserve. This means fellow wideout Geronimo Allison will not be eligible to return until the postseason.
