Zay Flowers Injury Doubt
Ravens Wide Receiver Zay Flowers Misses Practices Ahead of Dallas Game
Anonymous
Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers missed practice Wednesday and Thursday with a hamstring injury, making his availability for Sunday’s game against Dallas in Brazil uncertain despite coach Jesse Minter previously saying he had a good chance to play. Flowers left the season opener after recording five catches for 150 yards and a touchdown, then missed Baltimore’s Week 2 loss. If he cannot play, Rashod Bateman could again lead the receiving group. Left tackle Ronnie Stanley also missed Thursday’s practice, while Trey Hendrickson returned after missing Wednesday; further injury updates and the team’s travel status were expected later Thursday.
Key Points
1
Since Flowers left the season opener, Baltimore has scored on just three of its 16 offensive drives, underscoring how much less productive the offense has been without him.
2
In the Week 2 loss to New Orleans, Baltimore scored 17 points; Rashod Bateman caught a touchdown, while Chris Moore provided a downfield threat.
3
Flowers' speed can make a difference even when he is not catching the ball, because it forces defenses to account for him downfield and can help create space for Lamar Jackson and the rest of the offense.
4
Calais Campbell also missed Wednesday's practice, in what ESPN reporter Jamison Hensley indicated was likely a rest day.
