Ravens Rule Out Pro Bowl WR Zay Flowers for Wild Card Game Against Steelers

The Baltimore wide receiver sustained a knee injury in the regular-season finale and will miss Saturday's playoff opener.

Zay Flowers, Baltimore's leading receiver with 1,059 yards this season, suffered a knee injury during the Ravens' Week 18 win over the Cleveland Browns.
Head coach John Harbaugh confirmed Flowers' absence for Saturday's AFC Wild Card game but expressed optimism about his potential return if the team advances.
Flowers' injury marks the first time this season he will miss a game, leaving Rashod Bateman as the Ravens' top wideout option.
The Ravens will look to adjust offensively by leaning on tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely, as well as Pro Bowl running back Derrick Henry.
The Steelers, entering the matchup on a four-game losing streak, could benefit from Flowers' absence as they aim to disrupt Baltimore's high-powered offense.
