The Ravens’ injury picture got a little murkier Thursday, and the biggest new name on the list is one Baltimore can’t afford to lose. Zay Flowers, the team’s top receiver, popped up with a toe issue and was limited in practice, joining Lamar Jackson on the report ahead of Sunday’s Week 6 AFC North trip to face the Browns.
Jackson’s situation still hangs over everything. The quarterback was a nonparticipant again Thursday because of the ankle injury he suffered late in the first half of Baltimore’s Week 4 win over the Tennessee Titans. The Ravens are still treating him as day-to-day, but his status remains unresolved.
If he can’t go, Tyler Huntley would be in line for another start. That possibility makes Flowers’ health even more important for Baltimore’s offense.
Through four games, Flowers has 26 catches for 405 yards and two touchdowns. He already missed Week 2 with a hamstring injury, then played through a foot issue in Week 5 against the Atlanta Falcons, where he caught eight of nine targets for 53 yards from Huntley.
The Athletic’s Zac Jackson posted the Ravens’ Thursday injury report on X, formerly Twitter, and highlighted Flowers and outside linebacker Mike Green as notable additions before Baltimore’s first divisional game of the season. Green was listed as limited with a hamstring injury. The second-year edge rusher has two sacks this season and has seen a bigger workload with Trey Hendrickson dealing with a finger injury.
Baltimore did not give Flowers a game-status designation Thursday.

The Ravens come into Sunday at 4-1 and sitting atop the AFC North. Cleveland is 3-2.
Friday’s final injury report should give a clearer picture before the 1 p.m. ET kickoff at Huntington Bank Field.

Ravens Still Waiting On Cam Jurgens As Center Decision Looms
Cam Jurgens is still moving through the concussion protocol after self-reporting symptoms last Monday, and his status remains one of the more important early-week questions for Baltimore. He has been limited in practice in a non-contact jersey and has not logged a full practice, leaving the Ravens to sort through the possibility that their center spot could come down to a late-week call.
Assistant coach Jesse Minter said Jurgens availability for Sunday will hinge on whether he clears every required medical step in the protocol, and the team has reason to be patient with the process. Vega Ioane has handled himself well at center and would be a viable alternative if Jurgens is not cleared, giving Baltimore some cover while it waits for the final medical word. [Read more 🡒]
Lamar Jackson's Status Suddenly Looms Over A Huge Ravens Browns Week
Lamar Jacksons availability has suddenly become the biggest subplot of a huge AFC North week for Baltimore. The Ravens quarterback did not practice Wednesday because of an ankle injury, and head coach Jesse Minter said Jackson is day-to-day heading into Sundays matchup with the Browns. It is the sort of uncertainty that can change the tone of a game before it even kicks off, especially for a Ravens offense built around Jacksons playmaking.
The ripple effects have already started, with sportsbooks adjusting to the possibility that Baltimore may have to go without its star quarterback again. Tyler Huntley stepped in and helped deliver a win in Jacksons absence in Week 5, which at least gives the Ravens a recent template if they need it, but Clevelands defense is the kind of opponent that makes every quarterback question feel bigger. For now, Baltimore is waiting on Jackson, and the weeks entire shape may depend on how that ankle responds. [Read more 🡒]
Ravens Week 6 Outlook Still Comes Down To One Huge Injury
The Ravens got a little healthier on the practice field this week, with three key players back in full participation and rookie wideout JaKobi Lane returning from injured reserve after wrist surgery. There was also a glimpse of what the revamped front could look like, as newly acquired center Cam Jurgens was on the field in a limited capacity while still working through concussion protocol, giving Baltimore at least some signs of forward movement heading into Week 6.
Even so, the biggest issue facing the Ravens remains unchanged because Lamar Jackson was still sidelined with a sprained ankle as the week opened, and his status continues to shape everything about the offense. Baltimore can point to a banged-up Browns roster of its own, but the real question for the Ravens is whether theyll have their quarterback available when it matters most, or keep waiting on an injury that has already stretched deeper into the week than anyone wanted.
