Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco said Wednesday he's "ready to go" for the season opener Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals after battling a back injury throughout training camp.

"It's not ideal but I feel good now and I'm ready to go," Flacco said, according to Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Flacco had no setbacks following his return to practice Saturday, declaring the pivot "ready to roll."

It initially appeared Flacco was in danger of missing the start of the year when he suffered the disc injury at the start of camp.

He's made a quick recovery, though it remains to be seen how much rust he'll have to work off after missing all four preseason games.
