John Harbaugh’s squad has been one of the biggest disappointments of the 2025 NFL season — not just statistically, but in terms of on-field performance as well. The offensive drop-off may be understandable given the absence of Lamar Jackson, who will also miss the matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. As a result, much of the team’s hope now rests on the shoulders of talented wide receiver Zay Flowers.
Flowers, who had been listed as questionable by the team through an official statement on their website, has now been confirmed as active and will take the field alongside his teammates.
NFL insider Tom Pelissero posted on his official X account (formerly Twitter) breaking news that the wide receiver will be available to the coaching staff for the upcoming game against the Rams.
“Ravens WR Zay Flowers is active,” the insider reported via @TomPelissero. With Lamar Jackson’s absence confirmed, Harbaugh secures a key piece in his offense, which is desperate for a win in Week 6.
The impact of Flowers on the Ravens’ offense
Despite the Baltimore Ravens‘ early struggles, wide receiver Zay Flowers has emerged as the unequivocal top target, injecting vital playmaking ability into the offense.
Through five games, the Pro Bowler leads the team with 28 receptions on 36 targets, totaling 377 receiving yards and averaging a robust 13.5 yards per catch. His ability to rack up yardage after the catch and command volume, even in a run-heavy scheme, confirms his status as the unit’s key explosive weapon.
What injury is the WR dealing with?
Zay Flowers, who is tied for eighth in the NFL with 377 receiving yards, is officially listed as active for Sunday’s game against the Rams despite to a shoulder injury that limited him in practice all week.
