Flowers caught five of six targets for 127 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 41-10 rout of the Broncos.
Analysis
Both scores came in the second quarter as Flowers was on the other end of seven-yard and 53-yard strikes from Lamar Jackson. The Ravens' acquisition of Diontae Johnson doesn't seem likely to threaten Flowers' spot as Jackson's top downfield option -- the second-year wideout has erupted for four 100-yard performances in the last five games, although Sunday's TDs were his first since Week 2. Flowers could be poised for big numbers again in Week 10 against a Bengals secondary he posted a 7-111-0 line against on 12 targets in their first meeting.
Flowers recorded seven receptions on 12 targets for 115 yards in Sunday's 29-24 loss to the Browns.
Analysis
Flowers' availability was in question after he suffered an ankle injury in Week 7 and managed only one limited practice during the week. However, he turned in his third 100-yard performance in his last four games, highlighted by lengthy receptions of 29, 25, 23 and 21 yards. Flowers has had an impressive sophomore season, with the only drawback being that he has just one touchdown across eight contests.
Flowers (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Analysis
After not practicing Wednesday or Thursday due to an ankle issue that he sustained early in this past Monday night's win over the Buccaneers, Flowers returned to a limited session Friday, during which the wideout was moving around well, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN. In the absence of any limitations or in-game setbacks, Flowers -- who approached Sunday's contest listed as questionable -- should have an opportunity to maintain his key role in the Ravens' passing game, a context that has led to him recording a 34/412/1 receiving line on 49 targets through seven games to date. Prior to his one-catch effort against Tampa Bay (while recording a 71 percent snap share), the 2023 first-rounder had combined for 16 catches on 21 targets for 243 yards in his two previous outings.
Flowers (ankle), who is questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis
Flowers is officially questionable for Sunday and had been considered a game-time decision, but he looks like he'll be officially cleared when the Ravens release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. The second-year receiver has been Baltimore's top pass catcher this season, tallying 49 catches for 412 yards and a touchdown over seven games. Flowers had only one catch for 11 yards and one carry for 19 yards last Sunday against Tampa Bay while playing through the ankle injury, so it's possible that the issue will affect his production to some extent against the Browns.

Flowers (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Browns, is being viewed as a game-time decision, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
Flowers hurt his ankle last Monday against Tampa Bay and managed just one limited practice during the week while sitting out two sessions entirely. Given his minimal practice reps this week, it's no surprise that his status for Sunday's contest likely won't be clarified until 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, when the Ravens release their inactive list. If Flowers can't suit up Sunday, Rashod Bateman will likely take over as Baltimore's No. 1 receiver.

Flowers (ankle) officially is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns after logging a limited practice Friday.
Analysis
Flowers played through a first-half ankle injury Monday against the Buccaneers, but he failed to practice Wednesday or Thursday before Friday's capped session. His status may not be confirmed until 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff in Cleveland. Rashod Bateman could be the primary beneficiary if Flowers winds up inhibited or sidelined.

Flowers (ankle) returned to practice Friday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
Flowers didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but the wideout's return to the field Friday is a good sign regarding his availability for Sunday's game against the Browns. The Ravens' upcoming injury report will clarify whether Flowers heads into the weekend with an injury designation or fully cleared for Week 8 action.

Type: Ankle
Flowers (ankle) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Analysis
He'll go down as a non-participant for the second practice in a row, clouding his status for Sunday's game in Cleveland. The Ravens will wait and see what, if anything, Flowers can do during Friday's practice before determining whether he'll be cleared to play against the Browns, carry a designation into the weekend or be ruled out for the contest. A potential Flowers absence Sunday would likely free up more targets for receivers Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor and tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely.

Type: Ankle
The Ravens listed Flowers (ankle) as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.
Analysis
The Ravens opened Week 8 with a walk-through session after beating Tampa Bay on Monday. Flowers returned to the 41-31 win after injuring his ankle early on, ultimately handling a 70 percent snap share and a team-high 88 percent route share, but he finished with just one target and one carry for 30 total yards. The only pass he saw after suffering the injury was a flubbed backward throw that officially counted a lost fumble for quarterback Lamar Jackson.
