Overview
- Flowers is officially listed as questionable for Sunday after missing Wednesday and Thursday practices and returning as a limited participant on Friday.
- Ravens coaches plan a pregame test in Rio to judge his hamstring and sources say he would likely play on a pitch or reduced snap count if activated.
- Concerns about traction and stability on the Maracanã Stadium field prompted league and NFLPA experts to order reinforcements and influenced Baltimore’s cautious approach to using an injured receiver.
- Fantasy analysts across outlets advise caution and many recommend benching Flowers even if he suits up because a snap‑restricted role would greatly limit his weekly value.
- If Flowers is inactive or limited, targets will shift to Rashod Bateman and other receivers and the team will lean more on Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry to compensate for the reduced receiving depth.
