During the Week 18 regular season finale win (35-10) vs. the Cleveland Browns, Flowers injured his right knee.
In view of what happened, after gaining a good chunk of yards on a catch-and-run in the beginning of the second quarter, Flowers was seen grabbing his leg in pain.

Ultimately, he was helped off the field and limped into the blue medical tent, but after heading into the locker room for further evaluation, Flowers was announced out for the remainder of the game.
While addressing the media on Thursday, head coach John Harbaugh said that their star receiver will miss this week, but could play if the Ravens advance to the next round.
"He'll get started again next week and we'll move forward with the guys we have," Harbaugh said. "We're excited about the guys we have, which is everybody else."

Notably, in his second season in the league, Flowers made history as he became the first Raven to make the Pro Bowl at the wide receiver position.
On the year, the 24-year-old had 74 catches for 1,059 yards, while contributing four touchdowns.
Nevertheless, Lamar Jackson and the Ravens (12-5) will have to be without Flowers, when they host the Steelers (10-7) in Baltimore for their upcoming Wild Card game on Saturday, January 11 at 8:00 pm ET.
