CINCINNATI (WXIX) - Joe Flacco is working to get healthy enough to start for the Bengals on Sunday against the Chicago Bears.
Flacco is dealing with a reported sprained AC joint.
“Feeling pretty good,” Flacco responded when asked about the injury.
Joe Flacco: I feel pretty good. Not one to talk about injuries, but felt good about Thursday’s work at practice.
Isn’t full coming out and saying he’ll start on Sunday, but is hinting he’s ready to give it a shot.

Head coach Zac Taylor said on Wednesday that Flacco is 50-50 to start on Sunday.
If Flacco cannot play against the Bears, it will be Jake Browning returning to the starting quarterback role.
Another player with an unknown status for Sunday is All-Pro Trey Hendrickson.
Hendrickson was on the practice field Friday, but he was in street clothes.
