Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh provides an update on the star receiver’s injury
After a scary-looking knee injury in Week 18 against the Cleveland Browns, we now have an update on the Baltimore Ravens Pro Bowl receiver Zay Flowers. Two days after the game, Head Coach John Harbaugh provided the media with further information on the availability of the Boston College product, noting that he’s “day-to-day” and the injury is not season-ending:
“It’s not a season-ending injury. It will be day-to-day.”

While Flowers will do everything he can to play this week, his game time status still seems to be uncertain. Coach Harbaugh specifying his injury is not season-ending gives their team hope he can play sometime soon, though.
Flowers closed the curtains on his best NFL regular season of his young career. The first time Pro Bowler brought in 74 receptions for 1,059 yards and four touchdowns. In his two contests against Pittsburgh this year, Flowers posted a total of 139 receiving yards and a touchdown score. Whether or not Flowers is able to go could be a key factor in this fiery first-round battle where the Steelers currently sit as 9.5-point underdogs. If he’s out, expect fourth-year wideout Rashod Bateman to be heavily involved as the team’s second leading receiver with a career-best 45-756-9 through the regular season.
