Wide receiver Zay Flowers could be available for the Baltimore Ravens in their divisional playoff game Sunday (CBS, 6:30 p.m. ET) against the Buffalo Bills.

"I think he'll have a chance," Baltimore coach John Harbaugh told reporters Friday, per ESPN.

Flowers injured his right knee in the regular-season finale against the Cleveland Browns on Jan. 4.

Baltimore's injury report on Friday listed Flowers as doubtful.

ESPN noted that Flowers worked out Friday and wore a brace while running.

On X, the Ravens posted a video of Flowers working out. ESPN noted the Ravens don't usually post a workout on a player who is returning from injury.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, of course, wants to see Flowers play against the Bills.

"It’s a huge challenge," Jackson told reporters earlier this week of the game at Buffalo.

Added the QB: "[B]ut we have guys who are locked in and are ready to step up to the plate for us.”

Among the other passing weapons for the Ravens are wideouts Nelson Agholor (231 yards, two touchdowns in 2024) and Rashod Bateman (756 yards, nine touchdowns) and tight end Mark Andrews (673 yards, 11 touchdowns).

Flowers played in 17 games this season, making 74 receptions for 1,059 yards and four touchdowns.

He missed the wild-card win against the Pittsburgh Steelers last Saturday.
