Ravens in 'we'll see' mode with WR Zay Flowers (knee)

Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers is pushing to return to the field for the AFC divisional playoff game at Buffalo this Sunday.

"That's in we'll see mode. He's working hard to get back," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said on Monday. "We'll see toward the end of the week if he's practicing. He can play without practicing for sure, if he feels healthy enough and it's safe for him."

Flowers didn't practice last week and was ruled out of the wild-card win over the Pittsburgh Steelers last week. The team leader with 74 receptions for 1,059 yards in the regular season, Flowers sustained a knee injury during Baltimore's 35-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns in the regular-season finale.

Reserve running back Justice Hill led the Ravens with four receptions against the Steelers, a 28-14 win that pushed the team to the divisional round visit to the Bills. Baltimore ran the ball 50 times for 299 yards compared to 16 pass plays.

It was the first time Flowers missed a game in his two NFL seasons.

Rashod Bateman is the most likely candidate to serve as Lamar Jackson's lead wide receiver if Flowers is unable to return this week.

Flowers and Bateman had one reception apiece in the Ravens' Week 4 win over the Bills, 35-10. Derrick Henry rushed for 199 yards and scored two touchdowns (one rushing, one receiving) and tight end Mark Andrews was held without a catch.
