Ravens Zay Flowers, 49ers Javon Hargrave active for Monday night clash

Ravens' wide receiver Zay Flowers is active for the big game against the 49ers, but Baltimore will be without two cornerbacks.

The highly anticipated matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers saw Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers, who had been dealing with a foot injury, declared active for the game. Despite being questionable, Flowers, who leads the team in catches and receiving yards, participated in full practice on Friday and Saturday, alleviating concerns about his availability. Ravens coach John Harbaugh had previously expressed confidence in Flowers' ability to play against the 49ers, who boast one of the league's top defenses.

However, the Ravens will be without cornerbacks Arthur Maulet and Jalyn-Armour Davis, both sidelined due to injury. In response, Baltimore elevated wide receiver Laquon Treadwell and outside linebacker Jeremiah Moon from the practice squad, likely to bolster their special teams.

On the other side, the 49ers will be missing second-string running back Elijah Mitchell and key defenders Arik Armstead and Oren Burks, all sidelined with injuries. Despite this, their top interior pass rusher, Javon Hargrave, will be active for the game. Additionally, No. 3 wide receiver Jauan Jennings, reserve tight end Ross Dwelley, cornerback Samuel Womack, and quarterback Brandon Allen will also be inactive for the 49ers.

With both teams facing significant absences due to injuries, the stage is set for a thrilling showdown between the NFL's top two teams and their formidable defenses. The matchup promises to be a test of depth and resilience for both the Ravens and the 49ers as they vie for supremacy on the field.
