Coming off Injury

After going 2-6 as a starter in Denver, the Broncos placed Flacco on injured reserve in November after he suffered a herniated disk in his neck.

The Broncos released Flacco in March with a failed physical designation. Flacco underwent neck surgery in early April and is expected to be ready to participate without contact in training camp, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Flacco is expected to be cleared by Sept. 1, per Schefter.

If Flacco’s health holds up, the Jets quarterback depth chart is likely already set. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, neither David Fales nor Mike White will beat out Jets’ fourth-round pick James Morgan for the Jets’ final quarterback spot on the depth chart. With Flacco recovering, Morgan could see more No. 2 reps than originally thought during training camp.
