Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers suffers injury vs. Buccaneers

The Baltimore Ravens have been hit with an injury on offense in their Week 7 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

In the second quarter at Raymond James Stadium, Ravens receiver Zay Flowers appeared to suffer an ankle injury after being rolled up by Antoine Winfield following a 19-yard run. He jogged his way off the field before immediately ending up on the sideline. He had a disturbed look on his face as he was attended to by trainers on the bench.

Flowers also had an 11-yard catch in the first quarter.

Later in the drive, the Ravens found the end zone on a nine-yard touchdown grab from tight end Mark Andrews, giving Tampa Bay a 10-7 lead.

Heading into Week 7, Flowers was Baltimore’s leading receiver through the first six games. This season, he has 33 catches for 401 yards and one touchdown, highlighted by back-to-back 100-yard games in wins over the Cincinnati Bengals and Washington Commanders.

After the win over Washington, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh had high praise for Flowers’ abilities.

“(Flowers is) exactly the weapon that we absolutely knew it was and would be and has been, to be honest with you,” Harbaugh said. “He’s been there all the time and the chances came today. Sometimes the defense doesn’t allow it. Sometimes the ball doesn’t come your way for whatever reason, but today the chances came and we had to have them.” ..Those catches had to be made in the passing game, and Zay probably made them.

If Flowers misses, the Ravens will lean on receivers Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor, along with Andrews and tight end Isaiah Likely. Baltimore will face the Cleveland Browns in Week 8.
