Indianapolis Colts quarterback Joe Flacco was absent from Saturday's training camp practice due to a personal reason.

Flacco, the team's backup behind Anthony Richardson, is attending the funeral of former teammate Jacoby Jones on Saturday.

Jones suddenly passed away two weeks ago on July 14 in his sleep at the age of 40.

Flacco was the starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens (2008-2018) when they signed Jones during the 2012 offseason. They spent three seasons together.

Jones and Flacco earned a Super Bowl XLVII ring together, which included a 56-yard touchdown connection.
