Practices with new team Flacco practiced Friday for the first time since being acquired from the Eagles on Monday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. He's still expected to be a healthy scratch Sunday again...

Impact Flacco had been dealing with a personal matter in the immediate aftermath of being traded, but he reported to the facility Friday, as expected. With such little time to get to know his teammates and learn the playbook, Flacco will sit out in Week 8, but he could make his Jets debut as soon as Thursday's Week 9 clash against the Colts. Whether he does so will likely depend on how quickly Flacco picks up the playbook, as well as how Mike White fares in his first NFL start against the Bengals.

Joe Flacco: 'I See Myself Playing Here at Some Point' With Rookie QB Zach Wilson Out 2-4 Weeks, Veteran QB Returns to the Jets

OCTOBER 29, 2021 • NEWYORKJETS.COM

Looking to leapfrog White Flacco -- who will be inactive Sunday against the Bengals -- believes he'll take over as New York's starting quarterback in the coming weeks while Zach Wilson recovers from a knee...

Impact Acquired from the Eagles for a sixth-round pick earlier in the week, Flacco will sit while Mike White gets the start against the Bengals on Sunday and Josh Johnson works as the backup. New York's coaching staff hasn't made a commitment at quarterback beyond that game, but Flacco believes he'll be the starter under center once he gets up to speed on the team's offense. There's no question the 36-year-old former Super Bowl champion is the more accomplished quarterback compared to White, whose first regular-season pass came in Week 7 against the Patriots after he replaced Wilson, who's projected to miss 2-4 weeks.

OCTOBER 27, 2021 • NFL.COM

Won't start this week Flacco (personal reasons) is participating in meetings virtually, but won't practice with the Jets until Friday, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact As a result, the veteran QB, who the team traded for earlier this week, is not an option to start Sunday's game against the Bengals in place of Zach Wilson (knee). Mike White is thus in line for his first NFL regular-season start, while either Flacco or Josh Johnson will serve as the Jets' backup this weekend. With Wilson in line to miss time beyond Week 8, Flacco is a candidate to move into a starting role down the road, but as for when that might happen, coach Robert Saleh noted Wednesday "we'll see how it goes," Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

OCTOBER 25, 2021 • DELAWAREONLINE.COM

Headed to Jets The Eagles are slated to trade Flacco to the Jets in exchange for a conditional draft pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Per Schefter, the pick will be a conditional sixth-rounder that could become a fifth-round choice, depending on Flacco's playing time. The Jets are making the move with rookie starter Zach Wilson in line to miss time with a PCL injury. While Flacco -- who worked behind Sam Darnold with New York in 2020 -- isn't stepping into an ideal team context, he's an upgrade over current backup Mike White and thus is worth a look for those scrambling for depth in two-QB formats.
