BALTIMORE -- Joe Flacco is out of Thursday night's game with a concussion after the Baltimore Ravens quarterback took a vicious shot to the head from Miami Dolphins linebacker Kiko Alonso.
Flacco looked glassy-eyed as he got up and held the left side of his face while he walked into the locker room for evaluation with three minutes remaining in the first half.

While sliding down after a scramble, Flacco got blasted by Alonso, knocking his helmet off and leading to a scuffle between the two teams. Alonso was flagged for unnecessary roughness but did not draw an ejection. Flacco went to the medical tent and sat out the rest of the second quarter.
Ryan Mallett took his place under center and threw a touchdown to Benjamin Watson, extending the Ravens’ lead to 20-0.
With his team winning comfortably, there was no reason to rush Flacco back in the game. He’ll have 10 days to get cleared before the Ravens’ Week 9 contest with the Tennessee Titans.
