Drew Lock (thumb) could begin the season on injured reserve.
"Obviously because it's his throwing hand and a thumb, that's a pretty serious injury for a quarterback,'' coach Vic Fangio said Thursday. "It will be some time before we know exactly where he's at and how much time he would miss." If the move is made, it will not be until after final cuts. Placing Lock on injured reserve now would make him ineligible for return. This is likely to happen and to function as a de facto "redshirt" for the raw rookie quarterback. Joe Flacco will almost certainly be benchable in 2019, but Lock might not have enough time to get ready to unseat him.
