Ravens Receive Encouraging Update on Zay Flowers' Hamstring

An MRI will determine his near-term availability for Baltimore’s Week 2 home game against the Saints.

Overview

  • Flowers left the Ravens' Week 1 win after a breakout performance in which he caught five of six targets for a career-high 150 yards and one touchdown.
  • NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport says the hamstring is not believed to be serious and that Flowers is being treated day-to-day pending an MRI.
  • Rookie Ja’Kobi Lane suffered a fractured wrist in the same game and Devontez Walker was inactive with a groin issue, leaving short-term receiving depth limited.
  • The Ravens are expected to take a cautious approach even if the MRI is clean, a strategy that could limit Flowers’ snaps as Baltimore prepares its game plan.
  • Flowers enters this season off consecutive 1,000-yard campaigns and tying a franchise mark for 100-yard games increases the stakes for careful management of his health.
