Zay Flowers (hamstring) practicing on Friday
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Ravens WR Zay Flowers is questionable for Week 2 against the Saints due to a hamstring injury he aggravated after rehabbing it recently; he missed two practices and is leaning toward sitting out the game.
- Flowers had a strong Week 1 performance with 5 catches for 150 yards and a touchdown before leaving early due to the hamstring issue, which is not believed to be serious but warrants a cautious approach.
- TE Mark Andrews is expected to see a heavy target load in Flowers’ absence, especially with WR Ja’Kobi Lane sidelined for several weeks due to a broken wrist.
- Rookie WR Elijah Sarratt and Devontez Walker are likely to be active and could see increased playing time if Flowers does not play.
- Flowers will undergo an MRI to determine injury severity; the Ravens are taking a day-to-day approach, and while he likely would have played in a playoff scenario, the team is prioritizing his recovery for now.
