Baltimore leading receiver Zay Flowers was ruled out at halftime of the Ravens’ home game Saturday against the Cleveland Browns after sustaining a knee injury in the second quarter.
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 exiting for the locker room. Flowers was questionable to return before being ruled out at the start of the third quarter.
Flowers, 24, finished with the one catch on two targets, and carried the ball once for nine yards.
Elected to his first Pro Bowl, Flowers leads the playoff-bound Ravens with 74 receptions for 1,059 yards. He also has 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.
