Baltimore Ravens top receiver Zay Flowers left in the second quarter of Saturday's 35–10 win over the Cleveland Browns with an apparent knee injury. This understandably worried his teammates and Ravens fans as Baltimore prepares to play in the wild-card round on Saturday vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Coach John Harbaugh provided a positive injury update for Flowers on Monday morning. It's unclear what his status will be for the wild-card matchup, but it sounds like there's still a chance he could compete.
"It's not a season-ending injury," Harbaugh said. "It's going to be day-to-day and try to do everything he can do to get back as soon as he can. We'll see where that takes us."
"It's not a season-ending injury. It will be day-to-day."

This was definitely news Ravens fans wanted to hear. Flowers led the Ravens with 1,059 receiving yards on 74 catches this season. He also had four touchdowns.
If Flowers doesn't play, receiver Rashod Bateman (756 yards) and tight end Mark Andrews (673 yards) will likely step up more in his absence.
The Ravens beat the Steelers just recently on Dec. 21 after losing their first matchup in November.
