Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers is day-to-day after taking a left quad contusion in Saturday’s practice, head coach Jesse Minter said.
Flowers limped off the field after a collision with safety Jaylinn Hawkins during a 7-on-7 drill. The injury came just four days after he put pen to paper on a four-year, $140 million contract extension that includes $108 million guaranteed.
That deal places Flowers among the highest-paid wideouts in football. At $35 million per season, he is tied with Minnesota Vikings star Justin Jefferson for No. 4 in average annual value at the position. Only Seattle Seahawks standout Jaxon Smith-Njigba ($42.15 million), Cincinnati Bengals star Ja’Marr Chase ($40.25 million) and Atlanta Falcons stud Drake London ($35.26 million) are ahead of him.
Flowers, 25, is set to play the 2026 season on the final year of his four-year, $14 million rookie contract.
A two-time Pro-Bowl receiver, Flowers entered the league as the No. 22 overall pick out of Boston College in 2023. In three seasons and 50 games, with 48 starts, he has piled up 237 catches for 3,128 yards and 14 touchdowns.
His production has climbed fast. Flowers posted back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons in 2024 and 2025, earning Pro Bowl nods in both years. His 1,211 receiving yards in 2025 set a franchise record for a Ravens wide receiver, and he already sits in the top five in team history in both receptions and receiving yards.

Adam Randall Could Give Ravens An Offensive Weapon They Rarely Have
Adam Randall arrived in Baltimore as a fifth-round pick, but the Ravens are already treating him like more than a roster-filler. The rookie is being developed to handle a little of everything on offense, with work at wide receiver, running back and tight end concepts, plus the kind of pass protection duties that can keep a young player on the field in a hurry. For a team that likes creating matchup problems and moving pieces around, that kind of versatility has real appeal.
Running backs coach Eddie Faulkner has taken notice of Randalls physicality and intelligence, and the early impression is that he can absorb a complex NFL playbook without looking overwhelmed. Baltimore has been looking for a hybrid threat who can fit into multiple spots and help the offense stay unpredictable, the sort of chess piece that can make defensive coordinators hesitate before the snap. Whether Randall becomes that answer is still to be determined, but the Ravens clearly see a path worth investing in. [Read more 🡒]
Tyler Loop Is Giving Ravens Fans A Reason To Reconsider Him
Tyler Loop gave Ravens fans an unwelcome memory to carry out of 2025, when the rookie kicker missed a critical 44-yard field goal at the end of his first season. Kicking jobs are rarely patient ones in Baltimore, and any early-season wobble can linger, especially for a specialist who is expected to handle pressure kicks and steady the hidden side of the game.
Training camp has offered a better look so far this summer. Loop has been more accurate in practice and has shown a stronger leg on long attempts, which matters as the Ravens try to settle one of the most fragile spots on the roster. There is still the separate issue of his kickoff discipline, an area the team wants cleaned up if he is going to turn this encouraging stretch into something more durable. [Read more 🡒]
