Posted on | by Field Level Media

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. received recognition for his strong rookie season on Thursday.

Thomas was named a finalist for the AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award and also was added to the AFC Pro Bowl roster. He also was named to replace Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers on a Pro Bowl roster that also includes Jaguars long snapper Ross Matiscik and punter Logan Cooke.

Flowers withdrew from the exhibition event in Orlando due to a knee injury that prevented him from competing for his team in the playoffs.

Thomas, 22, recorded 87 catches for 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns in 17 games (16 starts) since being selected by the Jaguars with the 23rd overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft.

In addition to Thomas, Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers, Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels, New York wide receiver Malik Nabers and Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix were named as finalists for the AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (knee) inactive vs. Bills

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Baltimore wide receiver Zay Flowers is inactive for the Ravens’ game against the host Buffalo Bills in the AFC divisional round on Sunday evening.

The Ravens had listed Flowers as doubtful for the playoff game because of a knee injury, but head coach John Harbaugh held out hope on Friday that the second-year receiver had “a chance” to play.

Flowers missed the entire week of practice after being sidelined all last week and sitting out Baltimore’s wild-card win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Jan. 11.

He sustained the knee injury during Baltimore’s 35-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns in the regular-season finale on Jan. 4.

Selected to his first Pro Bowl, Flowers led the Ravens this season with 74 receptions for 1,059 yards. He also caught four touchdowns.

Flowers, 24, started all 16 games as a rookie in 2023, when he had 77 receptions for 858 yards and five TDs, and rushed eight times for 56 yards and another score. The Ravens selected him with the 22nd overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Boston College.

The Ravens’ other inactives are running back Rasheen Ali, linebacker Adisa Isaac, center Nick Samac, nose tackle Josh Tupou and safeties Beau Brade and Marcus Williams.

The Bills’ inactive players are wide receiver Jalen Virgil, defensive tackle DeWayne Carter, cornerbacks Kaiir Elam and Brandon Codrington, offensive linemen Sedrick Van-Pran Granger and Ryan Van Demark, and emergency third quarterback Mike White.

Ravens’ John Harbaugh: WR Zay Flowers has ‘chance’ to play vs. Bills

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh refused to rule out Zay Flowers for Sunday’s AFC divisional playoff game against the host Buffalo Bills despite seeing his wide receiver sit out practice all week.

Later Friday, the Ravens listed Flowers as doubtful to play against the Bills.

“I think he’ll have a chance (to play),” Harbaugh said prior to Friday’s practice of Flowers, who sustained a knee injury during the Ravens’ 35-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Jan. 4.

Flowers didn’t practice at all last week and was ruled out of Baltimore’s wild-card win over the Pittsburgh Steelers last Saturday.

Selected to his first Pro Bowl, Flowers led the Ravens this season with 74 receptions for 1,059 yards. He caught four passes for touchdowns.

Flowers, 24, started all 16 games as a rookie in 2023, when he had 77 receptions for 858 yards and five TDs, and rushed eight times for 56 yards and another score. The Ravens selected him with the 22nd overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Boston College.

Baltimore returner/receiver Deonte Harty (knee) is listed as questionable after practicing all week. Harty would have to be activated from injured reserve to play Sunday.

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers avoided a season-ending right knee injury and is day-to-day, head coach John Harbaugh said Monday.

Flowers left the regular-season finale on Saturday against the visiting Cleveland Browns with what was feared to be a long-term lower-leg injury.

“It’s not a season-ending injury. It’s going to be day-to-day and him doing everything he can do to get back as soon as he can,” Harbaugh said.

Flowers caught a 12-yard pass from quarterback Lamar Jackson and went to the ground at the Cleveland 12-yard line, where he was hit on the knee by Mohamoud Diabate as the Browns linebacker fell to the turf.

After getting medical attention on the field, Flowers walked with a slight limp to the sidelines with 12:03 to go in the quarter. He went to the blue medical tent before leaving the sideline for the locker room. The Ravens ruled him out for the rest of the game.

Flowers, 24, finished with the one catch.

Elected to his first Pro Bowl, Flowers leads the Ravens with 74 receptions for 1,059 yards. He caught four touchdown receptions.

He has not missed a game because of injury in his two seasons.

Flowers started all 16 games as a rookie in 2023, when he had 77 receptions for 858 yards and five TDs, and rushed eight times for 56 yards and another score. The Ravens selected him with the 22nd overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Boston College.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers cleared by NFL after investigation

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has been cleared by the NFL following an investigation into allegations of a domestic incident, the league announced Thursday.

The alleged incident occurred in January, and police in Baltimore County, Md., suspended the investigation the following month.

No charges were filed against the 23-year-old Flowers, whom the Ravens selected in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Boston College.

“Following a review, the NFL concluded there was insufficient evidence to support a finding that Zay Flowers engaged in an activity that violated the NFL’s personal conduct policy,” the league said in a statement. “There will be no action taken by the league and Flowers remains eligible to participate in all team activities.”

As a rookie, Flowers appeared in 16 regular-season games — all starts — and caught 77 passes for 858 yards and five touchdowns. He added one TD as he ran the ball eight times for 56 yards.
