Ravens Insider: Ravens WR Zay Flowers ‘day to day’ after suffering knee injury against Browns

[ExtremeRavens]

Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers’ availability for Saturday’s wild-card playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers remains uncertain.

Coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Baltimore’s leading pass catcher is “day to day” after suffering a right knee injury Saturday in the regular-season finale against the Cleveland Browns. He declined to provide further specifics, saying only that the injury is not season-ending.

Flowers suffered the injury early in the second quarter of Saturday’s win after Browns linebacker Mohamoud Diabate landed on his right knee after a 12-yard catch-and-run. He was helped to his feet by the training staff and limped to the sideline before going into the medical tent and eventually the locker room. He did not return.

READER POLL: How far will the Ravens advance in the playoffs?

Losing the second-year receiver for the game would be a blow to what was the NFL’s No. 1 offense this season.

Flowers led the Ravens in catches (74) and yards (1,059) to go with four touchdowns. He was also the fastest player in team history to reach 100 career receptions, the first Baltimore wide receiver to top 1,000 yards in a season since Marquise “Hollywood” Brown in 2021 and became the organization’s first at the position to be selected to the Pro Bowl.

Flowers has five 100-yard receiving games this season, including in the Ravens’ Dec. 21 win over the Steelers at M&T Bank Stadium, when he had five catches for 100 yards, including one that went for 49 yards.
