Ravens' Zay Flowers ruled out against Bills

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has been ruled out for the AFC Divisional Round game against the Buffalo Bills due to a knee injury sustained during the regular season finale. Despite working out on the field before the game, the Ravens opted to hold him out, hoping he might return if they advance to the AFC Championship. Flowers had missed the previous week’s Wild Card round and did not practice all week, leading to his doubtful status. Ravens coach John Harbaugh had suggested there was a chance Flowers could play, but given his lack of mobility and practice time, the decision was made to prioritize his recovery. In his absence, the Ravens will rely on Rashod Bateman as the primary receiver, while also focusing on their strong running game. Baltimore previously defeated Buffalo 35-10 in Week 4, a game where Flowers had limited impact but still influenced the defensive game plan.
