Zay Flowers playing today: Latest update on Ravens WR for Divisional Playoff game against Texans

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers returns to practice, hinting at his potential appearance in the Divisional playoff game against Houston.

After sitting out the final regular season game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Zay Flowers, the wide receiver for the Baltimore Ravens, returned to practice on Tuesday. His limited participation in practice suggests that he may be able to play in the Divisional playoff matchup against the Houston Texans.

Flowers has been an impressive rookie for the Ravens this season, despite being sidelined with a calf injury last week. However, with the team's first-round bye, his absence from practice wasn't a major concern. The injury report for Tuesday listed him as "limited," but he had a full practice on Wednesday and declared himself ready for the Houston game. Baltimore coach John Harbaugh also expressed optimism about Flowers and other injured players' availability for the Divisional Round matchup.

There doesn't seem to be any reason to worry about Flowers' readiness for the Texans game. Reports indicate that he was fit to play against the Steelers in Week 18, but the Ravens chose to rest him as they had already secured the top seed in the AFC.

Despite missing a few weeks of practice due to a calf injury, Flowers is expected to participate in the divisional round on Saturday. He also dealt with a foot condition earlier in the season but has not let these injuries hold him back. With an outstanding first season in the NFL, Flowers is set to make his playoff debut against Houston. He has 77 receptions for 858 yards and five touchdowns, making him the Ravens' top receiver this season.

Flowers had an impressive debut against the Houston Texans in the regular season, and now he is set to take on the same team in his first playoff appearance. The Baltimore Ravens will face the Houston Texans at the M&T Bank Stadium on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. ET.
