Baltimore wide receiver Zay Flowers is inactive for the Ravens’ game against the host Buffalo Bills in the AFC divisional round on Sunday evening.
The Ravens had listed Flowers as doubtful for the playoff game because of a knee injury, but head coach John Harbaugh held out hope on Friday that the second-year receiver had “a chance” to play.
Flowers missed the entire week of practice after being sidelined all last week and sitting out Baltimore’s wild-card win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Jan. 11.
He sustained the knee injury during Baltimore’s 35-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns in the regular-season finale on Jan. 4.
Selected to his first Pro Bowl, Flowers led the Ravens this season with 74 receptions for 1,059 yards. He also caught four 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.
The Ravens’ other inactives are running back Rasheen Ali, linebacker Adisa Isaac, center Nick Samac, nose tackle Josh Tupou and safeties Beau Brade and Marcus Williams.
The Bills’ inactive players are wide receiver Jalen Virgil, defensive tackle DeWayne Carter, cornerbacks Kaiir Elam and Brandon Codrington, offensive linemen Sedrick Van-Pran Granger and Ryan Van Demark, and emergency third quarterback Mike White.
