Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco practiced on a limited basis for the second straight day Friday, and coach John Harbaugh did not rule him out for Sunday’s road game against the Atlanta Falcons. - When Lamar Jackson was taken No. 32 overall in the draft this year, Ozzie Newsome acknowledged they were “building for the future” with the Heisman Trophy winner. But, he added, “In order for us to win this year, we need Joe Flacco.”
- With Joe Flacco going into what could be his last season as the Ravens' franchise quarterback, the team might use a high draft pick on the sport's most important position for the first time in a decade.
- Chris Borland's decision to retire due to health concerns after one successful rookie season triggered shockwaves around the NFL.
- But the farther the Baltimore Ravens get from the season-opening, 23-16 loss to the now 3-0 Bengals, the better it looks.
- Most Ravens fans know Joe Flacco was less accurate than usual in 2013. A simple eye test could tell you that.
- Ravens offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell is scheduled to interview with the Tennessee Titans later this week, according to Fritz Pollard Alliance chairman John Wooten.
- Through two games, it has been a beast-or-famine season for the Houston Texans' defense.
- Led by All-Pro defensive end J.J. Watt, the Texans have one of the most aggressive and physical 3-4 defensive fronts in the NFL.

-
- Ravens: Ravens say there's "no such thing" as letdown vs. Titans. Focus immediately shifted to Tennessee after dismantling of Steelers.
- If Marc Bulger leaves Baltimore as a free agent this offseason to become a starter elsewhere, the Ravens will likely be in the market for another able veteran to back up quarterback Joe Flacco. Might that veteran signal-caller be Donovan McNabb, who is on the outs in Washington?
-
- The scouting combine and most pro day workouts have been completed, and with the NFL draft just a few weeks away, there has been a significant amount of shuffling in my third NFL mock draft of the offseason. So who will the Ravens pick?
- The 2010 NFL season is over and it's unclear if and when the 2011 season will start, but I have good news for Ravens fans (well, besides the Steelers losing to the Packers in the Super Bowl). That's right, it's mock draft season.
