The Baltimore Ravens might face their upcoming playoff challenge without Pro Bowl receiver Zay Flowers, who’s been nursing a knee injury since the regular-season finale against the Cleveland Browns.
Though Flowers hasn’t hit the practice field since then, head coach John Harbaugh maintains an optimistic outlook, hinting at the possibility of Flowers suiting up against the Buffalo Bills.
The Ravens already proved they could handle business without their star receiver, showcasing their offensive firepower in their wild-card victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
However, the latest injury report brings concerning news regarding Flowers’ availability.
“Ravens list WR Zay Flowers as doubtful Sunday vs. Bills. Very unlikely we see Baltimore’s top receiver at Buffalo. Needs more time with knee injury,” Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network wrote on X.

Wolfe emphasized that Baltimore’s leading receiver likely needs more recovery time.
The uncertainty around Flowers continues to keep Ravens fans on edge.
Though listed as doubtful, Flowers managed to get some work in before practice, with Harbaugh and the medical staff monitoring his progress.
“I think he’ll have a chance,” Harbaugh said, via the Ravens on X.

Since joining the Ravens as their first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Flowers has become their primary receiving threat.
After an impressive rookie campaign, he elevated his game to new heights in 2024, earning his first Pro Bowl nod.
His 1,059 receiving yards placed him among elite company, tying for the ninth-best single-season performance in Ravens history.
