Zay Flowers injury update: Ravens WR gets major scare ahead of NFL divisional game vs Bills

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers had a productive season, leading the team in both receptions (74) and receiving yards (1,059). Flowers was named a Pro Bowler in his second season in the NFL. He became the first wide receiver in the franchise's history named to the Pro Bowl.

Flowers was a large part of Baltimore's offensive success this season. However, he was injured during the team's regular-season finale against the Cleveland Browns. He missed the Ravens wild-card round last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Baltimore Ravens, who are four days out from their divisional road playoff game against the Buffalo Bills, didn't move in a positive direction on Wednesday with Zay Flowers' status.

Flowers missed the team's Wednesday practice, and according to NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport, he has an "outside chance" of playing this week.

"Was told Zay Flowers had an outside chance to play this weekend. No practice Wednesday does not appear to be a good sign," the insider wrote on X.

While it isn't a good sign that Zay Flowers is missing today's practice Ravens coach John Harbaugh said earlier this week that Flowers still could play even if he doesn't practice at all this week. Harbaugh said on Monday:

“That’s in ‘we’ll see mode. He’s working hard to get back, and we’ll see toward the end of the week if he’s practicing. He could play without practicing, for sure, if he feels healthy enough and if it’s safe for him.”

Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills will rematch this weekend with AFC Championship appearance on the line

The Buffalo Bills-Baltimore Ravens game is expected to be the most interesting divisional-round playoff matchup this weekend.

The two teams clashed in Week 4 where the Ravens earned a surprising 35-10 dominant victory. Derrick Henry rushed for 199 yards and a touchdown while quarterback Lamar Jackson totaled three touchdowns. The Ravens' defense held the Bills offense to less than 250 yards.

Sunday's trip to the AFC Championship game shouldn't be as much of a rout. According to ESPN, the game will be much closer, with the Bills heading into the game as a one-point road favorite.

Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York.
