Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has been ruled out for the second consecutive game due to a knee injury sustained in early January. Despite initially having a chance to play against the Buffalo Bills, Flowers did not practice all week, leading to his absence. Head coach John Harbaugh had hinted at a possible return but ultimately confirmed his unavailability. The Ravens, who managed to win without Flowers against the Pittsburgh Steelers, now face a tougher challenge in the Divisional Round against the formidable Bills.

Flowers, the franchise's first Pro Bowl wide receiver, could potentially return if the Ravens progress to the AFC Championship Game. Other notable inactives for Baltimore include safety Marcus Williams and nose tackle Josh Tupou. In contrast, wide receiver Anthony Miller is elevated from the practice squad as an alternative for Flowers. The Ravens and Bills are set to kick off at Highmark Stadium shortly.
