Feels good, Week 9 status TBD Flacco, who is dealing with a right (throwing) shoulder issue, noted Friday that he feels "pretty good," Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Flacco's injury is described as sprained AC joint, but the QB was able to log a limited practice Thursday. Unless he's able to work fully Friday, however, Flacco figures to carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears, but at this stage it appears as though he has a chance avoid missing a start due to his shoulder concern.

Practices in limited fashion Flacco (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Back on the field Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's session while managing an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, Flacco appeared to take some meaningful steps forward in the recovery process. After the session, teammate Ja'Marr Chase told Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic that Flacco "looked the same" as if he were healthy, but the Bengals are nonetheless likely to wait and see how the veteran signal-caller fares during Friday's practice before reaching a decision on his status for this Sunday's game versus the Bears. On Wednesday, head coach Zac Taylor labeled Flacco as being 50-50 for Sunday, but the 40-year-old's odds of playing may have since improved.
