Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers avoided a season-ending right knee injury and is day-to-day, head coach John Harbaugh said Monday.
Flowers left the regular-season finale on Saturday against the visiting Cleveland Browns with what was feared to be a long-term lower-leg injury.
“It’s not a season-ending injury. It’s going to be day-to-day and him doing everything he can do to get back as soon as he can,” Harbaugh said.
Flowers caught a 12-yard pass from quarterback Lamar Jackson and went to the ground at the Cleveland 12-yard line, where he was hit on the knee by Mohamoud Diabate as the Browns linebacker fell to the turf.
After getting medical attention on the field, Flowers walked with a slight limp to the sidelines with 12:03 to go in the quarter. He went to the blue medical tent before leaving the sideline for the locker room. The Ravens ruled him out for the rest of the game.
Flowers, 24, finished with the one catch.
Elected to his first Pro Bowl, Flowers leads the Ravens with 74 receptions for 1,059 yards. He caught four touchdown receptions.
He has not missed a game because of injury in his two seasons.
Flowers 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.
