Flacco has thrown for 43,936 yards, 245 touchdowns and 155 interceptions and is a one-time Super Bowl champion so far in his 16-year career.
Last year, he won the Associated Press NFL Comeback Player of the Year award after throwing for 1,616 yards and having 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions with the Cleveland Browns.
Flacco will be replacing Gardner Minshew as the team's backup quarterback, who left Indianapolis to sign with the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday.
Anthony Richardson will be starting for the team after being selected fourth overall in the 2023 NFL draft. He played just four games before sustaining a season-ending shoulder injury.
