Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers is doubtful ahead of the huge play-off game against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

The Ravens have not ruled Flowers out, despite his absence from practice all week.   

While Flowers has not practiced all week, he has been making progress in his recovery.

He participated in a workout before Friday’s practice, running with a brace on his knee.

Notably, the Ravens shared a portion of this workout on their social media.

“I think he’ll have a chance,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said after Friday’s practice.

“He is a guy that has been with us all season long [and has] been making things happen for us,” Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson added.

“What he brings to the game – we’re going to miss that. But we have guys who are locked in and are ready to step up to the plate for us.”

Flowers enjoyed a successful rookie season, leading the team with 74 receptions for 1,059 yards.

If Flowers is unable to play, it will mark the first time he has missed consecutive games.

“Hopefully, Zay will be able to go, but if not, we have a lot of really good players,” Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken said.

“We’re fortunate. We have a lot of really good players, and we anticipate them playing well.”
