Ravens injury report for divisional round vs. Bills
The Baltimore Ravens' first injury report for their divisional-round matchup against the Buffalo Bills only included two players.
Due to a knee issue, Zay Flowers missed practice on Wednesday for the fourth consecutive time. The second-year wide receiver was also a nonparticipant in each of Baltimore's practices last week ahead of the wild-card round win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Flowers and the other Ravens starters played in the team's regular-season finale against the Cleveland Browns in an attempt to win the AFC North and earn home-field advantage in the playoffs. Flowers suffered a knee injury in the second quarter, forcing him to leave the game early and never return.
Coach John Harbaugh confirmed a couple of days after the Week 18 game that the injury is not serious and won't keep him out for the rest of the season. However, it was still serious enough for him to sit out the game against Pittsburgh last week.
Flowers may play in Sunday's game against the Bills, but it is not encouraging that he missed practice on Wednesday. Furthermore, Harbaugh has said Flowers could play without practicing, though he probably wouldn't be at his best if that were to occur.
Alongside Flowers, the other player included on the injury report on Wednesday is wide receiver Deonte Harty, who has primarily played as a return specialist.
He was able to post full practice participation on Wednesday to begin the week, and he has been designated to return off injured reserve. Whether he will be activated off IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills is still up in the air.
