However, Rapoport said that things could still change if the injury flares back up over the next 24 hours.

It was initially uncertain whether Flacco would start, after he suffered an AC joint sprain during the team’s narrow loss to the New York Jets last week.

Flacco, 40, is playing for his seventh team in the Bengals after being traded to Cincinnati from the Cleveland Browns last month.

During his 17-year-long career, he has won a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens, and earned the accolade of Comeback Player of the Year with the Browns.

The October trade came as Bengals franchise quarterback Joe Burrow suffered a turf toe injury in the team’s home opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2.

So far, Flacco has a 1-2 record during his time with Cincinnati, with the Bengals recording a 3-5 season record overall.

The game against the Bears kicks off at Paycor Stadium at 1 p.m. on Sunday.
