Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco is active and expected to start against the visiting Chicago Bears on Sunday, despite nursing an AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder.
Flacco, who is listed as questionable to play against the Bears (4-3), was limited in practice on Thursday before failing to participate on Friday.
Flacco, 40, sustained his injury in last week's 39-38 loss to the New York Jets. It was his third start since being acquired from the Cleveland Browns.
He has eight touchdowns (seven passing, one rushing) and no interceptions with Cincinnati (3-5). Still, the Bengals are 1-2 with Flacco as QB1.
While Flacco is active on Sunday for the Bengals, they will be without star defensive end Trey Hendrickson for the second time in three games. Hendrickson is inactive after being listed as doubtful to play due to a hip injury.
Cincinnati also listed the following players as inactive: cornerback Marco Wilson, linebacker Logan Wilson, guard Dalton Risner, wide receiver Jermaine Burton and tight end Cam Grandy.
As for the Bears, running backs D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson, wide receiver Luther Burden III, defensive lineman Dominique Robinson, quarterback Case Keenum and linebacker Ruben Hyppolite II are inactive.
