Ravens coach John Harbaugh said he isn’t overly concerned about quarterback Joe Flacco being sidelined longer than the expected one week of rest.

Flacco has yet to practice in training camp because of tightness in his back, and there is no definitive timetable on his return. Doctors told Flacco and the Ravens that he would need about a week of rest in order for the back injury to subside. Flacco has already been out for 11 days.

“I don’t think it’s going to be a problem because Joe knows the offense,” Harbaugh said after Monday’s practice. “But still, there’s a rhythm, a chemistry and timing and execution that practice is valuable for. So, the sooner the better, but not before he’s ready.”

Flacco went for a second opinion on his injured back last week, a league source told ESPN’s Dan Graziano. The result was “positive for a slow return,” the source said.

“As a coach, you want to get him as soon as you can, that’s the bottom line,” Harbaugh said. “I want him here yesterday. I want him a week ago. I want him here the first day. As soon as he’s ready to go, we’ll go to work to get him ready.”

One reason why the Ravens can take a cautious approach is the fact that Flacco is entering his 10th NFL season.

“Every play we’ve run, he’s run before numerous times,” Harbaugh said.

Jose Mourinho has drawn a line in the sand.

If Real Madrid plays Gareth Bale in Tuesday’s UEFA Super Cup clash against his Manchester United, there’s no point pursuing his signature this summer. But if Zinedine Zidane opts to keep Bale on the bench, that’s a different story.

Real Madrid has been linked with a move for AS Monaco star Kylian Mbappe, and Zidane might reportedly offload Bale to fund the move. The Guardian’s Jamie Jackson reports Bale has been assured he remains a part of Real Madrid’s future, and that the club will pursue Mbappe next summer. Mourinho is willing to test those reports by attempting to gauge Madrid’s thinking Tuesday.

When asked if he was considering a move for Bale, Mourinho told reporters, as quoted by the Daily Mail: “If he’s playing tomorrow then I wouldn’t think of that.

“If he’s playing tomorrow it’s because he’s in the club’s plans. He has that ambition to continue in Madrid.

“I haven’t even thought about the possibility. If he’s not in the club plans – that what you are writing is true – with the arrival of another player, then we’ll try to wait for him on the other side and fight with other coaches.

“If he plays tomorrow it’s probably confirmation they’ll count on him next season.”
