I think Flacco had a hip pointed in 09 that really affected him.
Rest them til the playoffs.
Think it's when your hip bone ets a bruise. Don't quote me though lol
1-2 week injury generally.
There's a chance he could play with it, I guess, but it's more likely he misses at least 1 game.
Do you think the Ravens sit him? It not like he needs it to throw (like flacco). They can probably put a brace on it to protect it from further damage.
If we need Pierce can carry the load for one game to rest Rice. They WILL need him vs NY and CIN.
What about Leach?
Here is the answer to my question lol

Fullback Vonta Leach sustained a sprained ankle, but was walking around without issues following the game.
And Pro Bowl running back Ray Rice has a slight hip pointer, according to Harbaugh.
Rice rushed for 121 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries and didn't appear to be in major discomfort afterward in the locker room.
