Zay Flowers’ Status in Doubt: Ravens’ Star Receiver Misses Practice Ahead of Pivotal Divisional Clash

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers returned to the field Friday morning, participating in a brief workout ahead of the team’s final practice of the week. Despite his limited activity, Flowers did not take part in the full session, marking his third consecutive missed practice due to a knee injury. Head coach John Harbaugh previously indicated that Flowers could still play in Sunday’s crucial divisional matchup without practicing, leaving his availability uncertain.

Flowers has been a cornerstone of Baltimore’s offense this season, leading the team with 1,059 receiving yards. His achievement makes him the first Ravens wide receiver to surpass 1,000 yards since Marquise “Hollywood” Brown in 2021. The rookie’s absence would be a significant blow to the Ravens’ offensive strategy, especially given the stakes of the upcoming game.

If Flowers is sidelined, Tylan Wallace is expected to step into the starting lineup. In such a scenario, Baltimore’s tight ends, including standout Mark Andrews, will likely play an even more prominent role in the passing attack. The Ravens held their first outdoor practice of the week Friday, with Flowers’ status remaining a critical storyline as the team prepares for Sunday. Fans and analysts alike will closely monitor updates on his condition heading into the weekend.
