— -- OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is expected to miss the first week of training camp because of a back injury, according to sources.
Doctors told Flacco and the team that a week of rest can calm down the issue.
Flacco hurt his back while weightlifting and underwent an MRI, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Ravens currently have two quarterbacks on their roster: Ryan Mallett and Dustin Vaughan.
Flacco, who has missed just six games since entering the league in 2008, is looking to bounce back from a season in which he threw 20 touchdowns and 15 interceptions.
The Baltimore Sun first reported news of Flacco's back injury.
Baltimore opens its training camp Thursday morning.
