Ravens Add Zay Flowers to Injury Report With Toe Issue

The Ravens' injury situation got messier Thursday. According to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports), Zay Flowers was added to Baltimore's practice report as a limited participant with a toe injury — this on top of quarterback Lamar Jackson, who officially did not practice due to an ankle issue. Two of Baltimore's most important offensive players are now on the same injury report heading into Week 6.

Zay Flowers

Flowers has been productive this season — 26 receptions, 405 yards, and two touchdowns across four games, per the source story — so his value is clear. The concern now is twofold: a limited practice is a soft yellow flag on its own, but pairing it with Jackson's DNP status amplifies the worry for anyone who relies on Flowers in fantasy. The source also notes Flowers dealt with a hamstring issue earlier this season, so this is not his first injury scare of the year. Watch Friday's practice report closely; if Flowers stays limited and Jackson remains out, the floor for Baltimore's passing game drops significantly. Dynasty managers shouldn't overreact to a single limited day, but redraft managers need a contingency plan in case either player is ruled out or limited Sunday.

The source also notes receiver Rashod Bateman was downgraded to DNP (shoulder) Thursday. If both Flowers and Jackson are compromised, Baltimore's passing game has very little left to work with — making the team largely unstartable beyond running back usage in fantasy this week.
