There’s a little more evidence the left knee injury suffered by Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco on Monday night is shaping up as just a scare.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Flacco has a “mild” sprain of his medial collateral ligament, which was discovered during an MRI examination. (Previously, ESPN had reported Flacco would not undergo an MRI.)

According to the club’s injury report, Flacco did not practice on Wednesday, though coach John Harbaugh indicated that Flacco “went through practice today on a limited basis.” Also, Harbaugh said the team "(does) anticipate that he’ll play.”

The Ravens (8-6) will win the AFC North with victories in their final two games. Baltimore hosts New England on Sunday.
