Zay Flowers has been a crucial piece of the Baltimore Ravens’ offense all season, making highlight-reel plays and providing a reliable target for Lamar Jackson. His explosiveness and shiftiness can't be overstated. His ability to stretch the field and turn short gains into big plays has made him a fan favorite and first-time Pro Bowler in his second season.
Unfortunately for Ravens fans, Flowers’ availability for Sunday night’s Divisional Round showdown against the Buffalo Bills is very much in doubt.

Flowers injured his knee in the regular-season finale and hasn’t practiced at all this week. The Ravens officially listed him as doubtful for the game, but there’s still a glimmer of hope. Video surfaced earlier this week of Flowers working on agility drills, and head coach John Harbaugh said, “I think he’ll have a chance.”

Is Zay Flowers playing against the Bills today?
As of now, the Ravens haven’t made a final decision on Flowers’ status. The rookie wideout has been one of Lamar Jackson’s favorite targets this season, leading the team in receptions and receiving yards.
Baltimore will need all the firepower they can get against a Bills team that hasn’t lost at home this season. If Flowers can’t go, the Ravens will rely on Rashod Bateman and tight end Mark Andrews to step up in the passing game.
