Though WR Zay Flowers is questionable, reports indicate he will play vs. Browns in Week 8
Although the Baltimore Ravens listed wide receiver Zay Flowers as questionable after missing two practices and only being limited on Friday, reports indicate he will play against the Cleveland Browns in Week 8.
Ravens WR Zay Flowers, listed as questionable for Sunday due to an ankle injury, is expected to play vs. the Browns, per source.

This is quite the boost for the Ravens’ offense as he leads the team in receptions (34) and receiving yards (412) this season.
The Ravens have not been a pass-heavy team, what with the dynamic rushing attack from Derrick Henry, Lamar Jackson and Justice Hill, but Flowers’ effectiveness should not be understated. Flowers trails only Henry (39) and Jackson (23) in moving the chains in 2024, with 21 first downs. He also has the second-most yards after catch (224), behind only Hill (244).
It remains to be seen how well Flowers can play as he recovers from an ankle injury and whether the Ravens have him on a play count, but they’ll need everything they can get as they look to win their sixth-straight game and a critically important contest in the AFC North.
