Flowers (lower body) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, but he did run sprints on the side, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Flowers has been held out of practice since last week with what is believed to be a minor lower-body issue, but it's a positive sign that he received clearance to run. It was reported Tuesday that Flowers will practice fully next week and suit up for Week 1, and he appears to be on track to do so.
