Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh refused to rule out Zay Flowers for Sunday’s AFC divisional playoff game against the host Buffalo Bills despite seeing his wide receiver sit out practice all week.
Later Friday, the Ravens listed Flowers as doubtful to play against the Bills.
“I think he’ll have a chance (to play),” Harbaugh said prior to Friday’s practice of Flowers, who sustained a knee injury during the Ravens’ 35-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Jan. 4.
Flowers didn’t practice at all last week and was ruled out of Baltimore’s wild-card win over the Pittsburgh Steelers last Saturday.
Selected to his first Pro Bowl, Flowers led the Ravens this season with 74 receptions for 1,059 yards. He caught four passes for touchdowns.
Flowers, 24, started all 16 games as a rookie in 2023, when he had 77 receptions for 858 yards and five TDs, and rushed eight times for 56 yards and another score. The Ravens selected him with the 22nd overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Boston College.
Baltimore returner/receiver Deonte Harty (knee) is listed as questionable after practicing all week. Harty would have to be activated from injured reserve to play Sunday.
