ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Joe Flacco had three inches of swelling in his right leg last week, leading some Ravens to believe he would have to sit out against the Pats.
After suffering a hip injury at Oakland in Week 17, Flacco had to stand during the entire flight back to Baltimore because he was in so much pain. Per Schefter, Flacco is "definitely improved" for Saturday night's matchup in Indy, but he's still nowhere close to 100 percent. If Flacco has to throw 25+ times to keep up with Peyton Manning, the Ravens are in serious trouble
