Pro Bowl wide receiver Zay Flowers was sidelined Wednesday as the Ravens started their week of practice ahead of Sunday’s divisional-round game against the Buffalo Bills.
Flowers hasn’t practiced since suffering a minor knee injury in the Ravens’ regular-season finale Jan. 4. He missed their wild-card-round win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday, and coach John Harbaugh said Monday that the team is in “we’ll see mode.”
“He’s working hard to get back, and we’ll see toward the end of the week if he’s practicing,” Harbaugh said. “And he can play without practicing, for sure, if he feels healthy enough and if it’s safe for him.”
Flowers led the Ravens with 74 catches for 1,059 yards during the regular season. He had just one catch on two targets for 10 yards in the Ravens’ Week 4 blowout win over Buffalo, which will host the Ravens on Sunday.

In his first game without Flowers, quarterback Lamar Jackson went 16-for-21 for 175 yards and two touchdowns Saturday against Pittsburgh in the wild-card round.
“We just have a team full of dawgs,” left tackle Ronnie Stanley said Saturday. “No matter who’s in there, I know who we have. I’ve been around this team long enough. I really know every single one of our players and the depth chart we have. I’m confident in whoever we put in there. I’ve been confident the whole year with whoever we put in there, and I’m looking forward to what we’re going to do and build off of this.”
Wide receiver-returner Deonte Harty, who hasn’t played since Week 6 because of a knee injury, was a full participant in practice Wednesday. He would need to be activated off injured reserve to play Sunday.
Two Bills reserves, offensive lineman Alec Anderson (calf) and running back Ray Davis (concussion), were estimated to be limited in Wednesday’s walk-through practice.
