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 injury, Darryl Slater of NJ Advance Media reports. "I see myself playing here at some point in the next couple weeks," Flacco said.
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.
