For all the angst about Matt Schaub's play in training camp, he wouldn't be in Baltimore Sun reporter Jeff Zrebiec's top five of players/issues to be concerned about if he was a Ravens official.

As the Ravens (8-5) square off with the Jacksonville Jaguars (2-11) on Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium, here¿s Baltimore Sun reporter Aaron Wilson¿s checklist of things to keep an eye on.

Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco will wear a protective brace for today's game against the New England Patriots at M&T Bank Stadium.

Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco made it through the final full practice of the week without further injuring his sprained left knee. Flacco, who practiced on a limited basis all week while wearing a brace on his left knee, was listed as questionable on the injury report but on Sunday is expected to make his 108th consecutive start.

Detroit Lions linebacker DeAndre Levy wasn't fined for his low hit on Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco where he sprained the medial collateral ligament in his left knee Monday night, according to a league spokesman. Levy wasn't penalized on the play. The Ravens spoke to the league office about the hit earlier this week, sending in the play for review for potential discipline.

Although the Ravens left little doubt that quarterback Joe Flacco will line up Sunday against the New England Patriots despite an minor sprained left knee, he won¿t do so without taking a precautionary measure. A magnetic resonance imaging exam revealed that Flacco suffered a low-grade sprain of his medial collateral ligament, according to a source. Consequently, Flacco will wear a protective brace on his knee Sunday for the first time in his NFL career after being fitted for the equipment and started using it Wednesday during a light workout where he wasn¿t limping noticeably.

After taking a vicious hit in the Ravens' 18-16 victory over the Detroit Lions, quarterback Joe Flacco says his knee feels strong though a limp suggested otherwise.

Breaking down who has the edge, and where, in Monday night's Baltimore Ravens-Detroit Lions matchup.

Now that the NFL season is here, I'm putting a twist on my weekly Blogger on Blogger series. Each week, I hope to enlist a blogger who regularly writes about the Ravens' opponent to help me break down the game. This week, I exchanged emails with Max DeMara, who blogs about about the Detroit Lions for Lions101.com.
