Is Zay Flowers playing today? Ravens WR's status revealed for Christmas Day clash vs. Texans

Zay Flowers and the Baltimore Ravens have secured their playoff spot after defeating their eternal rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers, in Week 16.

Let's take a look at Flowers' availability before their Week 17 matchup against the Houston Texans.

Is Zay Flowers playing today?

According to CBS Sports, Zay Flowers is questionable for the Christmas Day game against the Houston Texans. The Boston College product is dealing with a shoulder injury.

Flowers did not participate in the first two training sessions of the week, and he was limited in Tuesday's session. The fact he was a limited participant does indicate, however, that there's a decent chance of him featuring against the playoff-chasing Texans.

While Flowers' status remains uncertain, three of his teammates have been ruled out of the matchup. Wide receiver Nelson Agholor and running back Justice Hill are both out with concussions, while cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis is sidelined due to a hamstring issue. Furthermore, Tre'Davious White is listed as questionable with a nagging shoulder injury.

How is Zay Flowers performing this season?

Zay Flowers has accumulated 71 targets, 1,016 passing yards and four touchdowns this season. Additionally, he has eight carries for 47 rushing yards in 15 games. He's on track to appear in all 17 games this season, an impressive feat given the concerns NFL scouts had about his size during the pre-draft process.

The Baltimore Ravens are enjoying another impressive season under long-time head coach John Harbaugh. Harbaugh has guided the team to 10 wins, putting them on track to end the year with a divisional title and a potentially deep playoff run.

Entering Week 17 with a 10-5 record, the Ravens are fresh off two wins following their bye week, against the New York Giants and their rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers. Dangerous across all facets of the game, the Ravens would be a nightmare matchup in the postseason. However, first, they'll need to navigate a potentially tricky game against C.J. Stroud and company in a Christmas showdown.
