ExtremeRavens Posted 17 hours ago Posted 17 hours ago Justice Hill improved his chances of playing in Saturday’s AFC wild-card round against Pittsburgh. Zay Flowers did not. Hill, who suffered a concussion against Pittsburgh on Dec. 21, then was set back by illness, returned to the field Wednesday without a red noncontact jersey. The backup running back practiced in full. Offensive coordinator Todd Monken said the Ravens anticipated Hill’s return for Week 18, but the sickness hindered his ability to get through concussion protocol. Flowers, a second-year receiver on the heels of his first Pro Bowl selection, missed a second consecutive practice after injuring his right knee during Saturday’s win against Cleveland. Coach John Harbaugh said Monday the injury was not season-ending but that Flowers would be listed as day-to-day. He has not practiced this week. Flowers’ designation for Saturday’s game won’t come out until Thursday, but a definitive ruling might not land until closer to kickoff. There was, however, some positive news for Baltimore’s defense. All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton (knee) popped up on the injury report as a limited participant Tuesday. He was full go Wednesday and told reporters after practice that he’d be good to go for Saturday. “It’s a one week life that we’re living right now,” Hamilton said. Wide receiver and return specialist Deonte Harty was also back in the fold this week. Harty hadn’t practiced since Week 6 because of a knee injury but was designated for return from the injured reserve and fully practiced Tuesday. The former Archbishop Curley star was absent Wednesday because of personal reasons. Pittsburgh’s injury report is clunkier, but the Steelers are healthy overall. Illness sidelined defensive tackle Cameron Heyward and kicker Chris Boswell. Tight end MyCole Pruitt (knee) had a setback from being limited Tuesday to missing Wednesday’s practice. Guard Mason McCormick (hand) was limited for a second straight day, and offensive lineman Isaac Seumalo was back to the practice field after a rest day Tuesday. Have a news tip?
