Ravens' Zay Flowers: Labeled day-to-day
Baltimore Ravens head coach Jesse Minter said Monday that Zay Flowers (hamstring) is considered day-to-day, Sam Cohn of The Baltimore Sun reports.Minter's comments essentially match what Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported earlier Monday, as Flowers' left hamstring injury isn't considered serious and is unlikely to result in the wideout missing much time, if any. Before departing Sunday's 41-23 win over the Colts with just under six minutes remaining in the second quarter, Flowers had a banner day, recording five receptions for a career-high 150 yards and a touchdown. If Flowers is able to make enough progress in his recovery from the hamstring injury as Week 2 prep rolls along and is cleared to play next Sunday versus the Saints, he should be locked in as quarterback Lamar Jackson's top target.

Ravens' Zay Flowers: Day-to-day heading into Week 2
The Baltimore Ravens are viewing Zay Flowers as day-to-day after he sustained a left hamstring injury in Sunday's 41-23 win over the Colts that isn't considered serious, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Despite exiting the Week 1 win with just under six minutes remaining in the second quarter, Flowers still delivered for fantasy managers, posting five receptions for a career-high 150 yards and a touchdown on six targets. Though Flowers had previously appeared on the Ravens' Week 1 injury report with a hamstring issue, he's seemingly dealing with a minor aggravation of the injury, as Rapoport indicates that the wideout likely would have checked back into Sunday's contest if it was a playoff game. The Ravens will send Flowers in for an MRI just to confirm that he's not dealing with a more serious injury, and if imaging reveals nothing concerning, he'll have a real chance at playing Week 2 against the Saints.

Ravens' Zay Flowers: Done for day with hamstring injury
Zay Flowers (hamstring) has been ruled out for remainder of Sunday's game against the Colts, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.The Baltimore Ravens had labeled Flowers as questionable to return after he exited midway through the second quarter due to a hamstring injury, but despite returning to the sideline for the start of the second half, the star wideout won't check back into the contest. He was at least able to deliver an excellent line for fantasy managers prior to his departure, posting five catches for 150 yards and a touchdown on six targets. Considering that Flowers had appeared on the Week 1 injury report due to a hamstring issue, he most likely suffered an aggravation at some point during Sunday's contest. The Ravens could send Flowers in for an MRI before having a better feel for his status heading into a Week 2 matchup with the Saints.

Ravens' Zay Flowers: Limited in practice Wednesday
The Baltimore Ravens listed Zay Flowers as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury.Baltimore's first injury report of the season provided some clarification on the lower-body issue that has been inhibiting him over the past few weeks. The wideout missed multiple sessions last week and was working off to the side during the media-access portion of Wednesday's practice, but he'll still have two more chances to ramp up to full participation by the end of the week. For his part, Flowers told Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore that he feels "more than healthy," which suggests that he's expecting to play Sunday in Indianapolis. The Ravens' receiver depth behind Flowers is also being tested going into the season, as Devontez Walker was listed as limited Wednesday due to a groin issue.
