Overview

  • Flowers has been cleared for all OTAs activities with “no limits” after rehabbing a right knee sprain that cost him the playoffs.
  • He recovered through rehab without surgery and says he feels “100%” as he ramps up toward training camp.
  • In 2024, he topped Baltimore with 74 receptions and 1,059 receiving yards en route to becoming the franchise’s first Pro Bowl receiver.
  • Private workouts with quarterback Lamar Jackson in Florida have focused on timing and route precision ahead of the season.
  • Offensive coordinator Todd Monken plans to increase Flowers’ downfield targets now that Hopkins will occupy defenses in the short and intermediate areas.
