Zay Flowers Injury Update: Ravens WR suffers leg injury against Browns

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers will miss Saturday’s game against the Cleveland Browns after suffering a knee injury in the second quarter.

The second-year receiver caught a short pass from quarterback Lamar Jackson and ran to the Cleveland 12-yard line. Already on the ground, Flowers appeared to have been hit on the inside of his knee by a falling Browns defender. The receiver remained lying down, grabbing his knee and rocking back and forth, obviously in pain.

Baltimore medical staff tended to the receiver on the field before he walked away under his own power and made his way to the blue medical tent.

Flowers eventually went back to the locker room and the Ravens announced that it was questionable whether he would return.
