Ravens WR Zay Flowers Unlikely to Play in Wild Card Game Against Steelers
Baltimore's top receiver remains day-to-day with a knee injury, posing a significant challenge for the team’s offense.
- Zay Flowers, the Ravens' leading receiver, suffered a knee injury in the regular-season finale against the Browns and has not practiced this week.
- Head coach John Harbaugh confirmed the injury is not season-ending, but NFL reports suggest Flowers is a 'long shot' to play in Saturday's playoff game.
- Flowers led the Ravens in receptions, receiving yards, and first downs this season, making him a key offensive weapon for quarterback Lamar Jackson.
- If Flowers is unavailable, the Ravens are expected to rely more heavily on tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely, as well as receiver Rashod Bateman.
- Baltimore faces the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild card round, marking the third matchup between the AFC North rivals this season and their first playoff meeting since 2014.
