Flowers (knee) wasn't on the field for practice Wednesday, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh was non-committal Monday when asked about Flowers' availability for Sunday's divisional-round game at Buffalo. The wideout missed the Ravens' wild-card win over the Steelers and now has two more chances to practice before Baltimore potentially gives him a designation heading into Sunday's contest.

Ravens' Zay Flowers: Uncertain for divisional round
Rotowire
Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Monday that the team is in "we'll see mode" with Flowers (knee) ahead of Sunday's divisional-round game at Buffalo, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Banner reports.
"[Flowers] is working very hard to get back, and we'll see toward the end of the week if he's practicing," Harbaugh said. "He can play without practicing, for sure, if he feels healthy enough and if it's safe for him." Flowers was injured Week 18 and didn't practice last week, ultimately getting ruled out Thursday for Saturday's eventual 28-14 win over the Steelers. His absence allowed WR Tylan Wallace to take 53 percent of snaps on offense, with Rashod Bateman at 49 percent, Steven Sims at 18 percent and Anthony Miller at 12 percent. Bateman was the clear leader in route share at 86 percent, followed by Wallace (50 percent), Agholor (36 percent) and Miller (23 percent). The Ravens likely will need more from their WRs this Sunday against the Bills, and there's a big decline in quality/productivity after Flowers and Bateman.

Ravens' Zay Flowers: Won't play Saturday
Rotowire
Head coach John Harbaugh noted Thursday that Flowers (knee) won't play in Saturday night's wild-card round game against the Steelers.
Flowers, who sprained his right knee in this past Saturday's win over the Browns, didn't practice this week and will target a potential return to action in the divisional round, should Baltimore defeat Pittsburgh. In Flowers' absence, Rashod Bateman is in line to work as the team's top wideout this weekend, with Nelson Agholor, Tylan Wallace and Devontez Walker also slated to mix in.

Ravens' Zay Flowers: Still not practicing
Rotowire
Flowers (knee) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Flowers didn't practice Tuesday or Wednesday, either, with his continued absence Thursday clouding his status for Saturday night's playoff opener against the Steelers. The Ravens' upcoming injury report will reveal whether or not Flowers has a chance to be available for the contest.

Ravens' Zay Flowers: Sits out Wednesday's practice
Rotowire
Flowers (knee) is not participating in the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Flowers is reportedly trending in the wrong direction for Saturday's wild-card game against the Steelers due to a right knee sprain sustained during Baltimore's regular-season finale last weekend, a 35-10 win over the Browns. Head coach John Harbaugh labeled Flowers as day-to-day Monday, but the wideout has proceeded to sit out both of the Ravens' first two practices of the week. Thursday's practice will thus be a pivotal one for Flowers, who will likely need to get in at least limited on-field reps to have a chance at being cleared to play this weekend.

Ravens' Zay Flowers: Unlikely to play in wild-card round
Rotowire
Flowers (knee) is viewed as a "longshot" to be available to play in Saturday's wild-card game against the Steelers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Flowers sprained his right knee in this past Saturday's 35-10 win over the Browns, and though head coach John Harbaugh classified him as day-to-day Monday, the wideout's chances of suiting up in the playoff opener don't appear promising. He was a non-participant in the Ravens' first practice session of the week Tuesday, and he'll almost certainly need to get back on the field as at least a limited participant by Thursday to have a legitimate chance of being ready to go for Saturday. Though Flowers appears unlikely to play against Pittsburgh, Rapoport relays that the 24-year-old will have a better chance to return for the divisional round if the Ravens can get past the Steelers.

Ravens' Zay Flowers: Not practicing Tuesday
Rotowire
Flowers (knee) wasn't seen taking part in practice Tuesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Flowers' absence from the field Tuesday as the Ravens opened prep for Saturday's wild-card game against the Steelers wasn't particularly surprising, after the wideout was forced out of this past Saturday's 35-10 win over the Browns with a right knee injury. Though head coach John Harbaugh wouldn't confirm Monday that Flowers was dealing with a sprain, the second-year receiver seems to have avoided a season-ending injury and is considered day-to-day. His availability for Saturday remains unclear until he's able to return to practice, however.

Ravens' Zay Flowers: Considered day-to-day
Rotowire
Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Flowers (knee) avoided a season-ending injury in Week 18 and is considered day-to-day.
Flowers underwent an MRI after exiting Baltimore's 35-10 win over the Browns on Saturday due to what was initially diagnosed as a right knee sprain. Harbaugh declined to confirm whether the injury is indeed a sprain, per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, and he didn't offer an update on Flowers' chances of being available for Saturday's wild-card round matchup against the Steelers. If the second-year wideout is unable to suit up, the likes of Nelson Agholor, Tylan Wallace and Devontez Walker could see expanded roles in the passing game behind Rashod Bateman, although Flowers' absence could also just mean more looks for tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely.

Ravens' Zay Flowers: Will have MRI on Sunday
Rotowire
Following Saturday's win over the Browns, coach John Harbaugh said Flowers (knee) will undergo an MRI on Sunday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Flowers took a hit to the knee versus Cleveland and was later ruled out for the remainder of the contest after catching one of his two targets for 12 yards. Harbaugh said there's a "chance" Flowers will be ready for the start of the playoffs next weekend, Zrebiec added. If Flowers is unable to play in the wild-card round, Rashod Bateman, Nelson Agholor, Tylan Wallace and Devontez Walker would be in line to soak up Baltimore's receiver snaps.

Ravens' Zay Flowers: Two catches in Week 17 win
Rotowire
Flowers secured two of five targets for 31 yards in the Ravens' 31-2 win over the Texans on Wednesday.
Flowers tied Mark Andrews and Derrick Henry for the team lead in receptions while checking in second in receiving yards. The talented wideout also set the pace in targets on an afternoon where Lamar Jackson attempted just 15 passes. Flowers saw a streak of games with over 50 receiving yards snapped at four, but he'll take a career-best 1,047 receiving yards into a Week 18 home matchup against the Browns.

Ravens' Zay Flowers: Hits century mark in win
Rotowire
Flowers caught five of eight targets for 100 yards in Saturday's 34-17 win over the Steelers.
The second-year wideout delivered his fifth 100-yard game of the season, but his first since Week 9. Flowers reached the 1,000-yard plateau on the season for the first time with the performance, and with two games left on the Ravens' schedule he sports a 71-1,106-4 line on 109 targets. Flowers will take aim at the Texans' secondary in Week 17.

Ravens' Zay Flowers: Team-high catch total in win
Rotowire
Flowers secured six of seven targets for 53 yards in the Ravens' 35-14 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Flowers finished with team-high catch and target totals in the lopsided win, but he was only third in receiving yards behind Rashod Bateman and Justice Hill. The second-year wideout has eclipsed 50 receiving yards in three straight games for the first time this season heading into a Week 16 home matchup against the Steelers on Saturday afternoon.

Ravens' Zay Flowers: Leads team with 74 yards
Rotowire
Flowers finished with three receptions (on seven targets) for 74 yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Eagles.
Flowers finished as the Ravens' leading receiver Sunday, but both of Lamar Jackson's passing scores went to tight ends (Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely). The 23-year-old Flowers set a new personal best for receiving yards in a season (863) in three fewer games compared to his strong rookie campaign in 2023. The budding sophomore has become a solid option across all fantasy leagues while serving as Baltimore's No. 1 wideout this year. The Ravens will enter a bye week before resuming play against the Giants on Dec. 15.

Ravens' Zay Flowers: Hauls in TD in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Flowers caught two of six targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Steelers.
The second-year wideout was headed for an awful performance until he hooked up with Lamar Jackson for a 16-yard score with just over one minute left in the fourth quarter. The Ravens were unable to add a two-point conversion however, as their comeback effort fell short. Flowers is still prone to occasional quiet games, but over the last seven games he's posted an impressive 35-569-3 line on 52 targets. He'll look to make an impact again in Week 12 against the Chargers.

Ravens' Zay Flowers: Limited to four catches Thursday
Rotowire
Flowers secured four of six targets for 34 yards in the Ravens' 35-34 win over the Bengals on Thursday night.
Flowers finished with the second-most receptions and third-most targets for the Ravens on the night, but he was much quieter than in his previous two games when he'd recorded a combined 242 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns. Flowers' catch total was also his second lowest of the last six contests, but he could well bounce back in what should be a highly competitive Week 11 divisional road showdown against the Steelers on Sunday, Nov. 17.

Ravens' Zay Flowers: Active versus Cleveland
Rotowire
Flowers (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Browns.
After not practicing Wednesday or Thursday due to an ankle issue that he sustained early in this past Monday night's win over the Buccaneers, Flowers returned to a limited session Friday, during which the wideout was moving around well, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN. In the absence of any limitations or in-game setbacks, Flowers -- who approached Sunday's contest listed as questionable -- should have an opportunity to maintain his key role in the Ravens' passing game, a context that has led to him recording a 34/412/1 receiving line on 49 targets through seven games to date. Prior to his one-catch effort against Tampa Bay (while recording a 71 percent snap share), the 2023 first-rounder had combined for 16 catches on 21 targets for 243 yards in his two previous outings.

Ravens' Zay Flowers: Set to suit up Sunday
Rotowire
Flowers (ankle), who is questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Flowers is officially questionable for Sunday and had been considered a game-time decision, but he looks like he'll be officially cleared when the Ravens release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. The second-year receiver has been Baltimore's top pass catcher this season, tallying 49 catches for 412 yards and a touchdown over seven games. Flowers had only one catch for 11 yards and one carry for 19 yards last Sunday against Tampa Bay while playing through the ankle injury, so it's possible that the issue will affect his production to some extent against the Browns.

Ravens' Zay Flowers: Considered game-time decision
Rotowire
Flowers (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Browns, is being viewed as a game-time decision, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Flowers hurt his ankle last Monday against Tampa Bay and managed just one limited practice during the week while sitting out two sessions entirely. Given his minimal practice reps this week, it's no surprise that his status for Sunday's contest likely won't be clarified until 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, when the Ravens release their inactive list. If Flowers can't suit up Sunday, Rashod Bateman will likely take over as Baltimore's No. 1 receiver.

Ravens' Zay Flowers: Questionable after limited practice
Rotowire
Flowers (ankle) officially is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns after logging a limited practice Friday.
Flowers played through a first-half ankle injury Monday against the Buccaneers, but he failed to practice Wednesday or Thursday before Friday's capped session. His status may not be confirmed until 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff in Cleveland. Rashod Bateman could be the primary beneficiary if Flowers winds up inhibited or sidelined.

Ravens' Zay Flowers: Sidelined for another practice
Rotowire
Flowers (ankle) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
He'll go down as a non-participant for the second practice in a row, clouding his status for Sunday's game in Cleveland. The Ravens will wait and see what, if anything, Flowers can do during Friday's practice before determining whether he'll be cleared to play against the Browns, carry a designation into the weekend or be ruled out for the contest. A potential Flowers absence Sunday would likely free up more targets for receivers Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor and tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely.
