The Baltimore Ravens, boasting the NFL's top offense, face a significant injury concern as they prepare for the playoffs. Wide receiver Zay Flowers was ruled out of the game against the Cleveland Browns after suffering a right knee injury early in the second quarter. This injury comes just two days after Flowers was selected for his first Pro Bowl, marking a major milestone in his career.
The incident occurred about three minutes into the second quarter when Flowers, after making a 12-yard catch, fell forward. His right leg collided with Ravens guard Andrew Vorhees, while Browns linebacker Mohamoud Diabate simultaneously struck Flowers' knee. Following the injury, Flowers limped off the field and was later seen heading to the locker room.
As a first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Flowers has quickly established himself as quarterback Lamar Jackson's primary target, leading the Ravens with 74 receptions for 1,059 yards. His selection to the Pro Bowl is particularly noteworthy, as he is the first wide receiver from the Ravens to achieve this honor in the franchise's 29-year history.
