The Facts:
After playing the last two games with a knee brace, time is what Flacco needs to heal. Flacco told reporters after Sunday’s loss that he will not need surgery to repair the knee injury that hindered him the final two weeks of the season. “I’m not going to have to get anything done,” Flacco said. “It was just my MCL and it will heal on its own.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Flacco originally suffered the injury in Week 15 against the Lions when blitzing linebacker DeAndre Levy fell into his planted left leg and collapsed it inward. He played through the injury to finish that game and was then fitted for a brace to wear during the final two weeks of the season. The Ravens said that Flacco was playing at less than 100 percent, but he stressed that the knee was not a factor in his performance. In the final two games of the season, Flacco completed 59 percent of his passes with one touchdown and five interceptions. Flacco took a beating over the course of the season and finished the year with 48 sacks, second most in the NFL. Despite all the hits, he still never missed a game and continued his streak of starting every game of his career.
