Flowers is currently active and is not dealing with any injury. He has also been taking part in drills at the Ravens' training camp, but it appears that Baltimore wants to keep the wideout fit and ready for the regular season.

The Ravens will play the Dallas Cowboys in their second preseason game on Aug. 16 before facing the Washington Commanders in their third preseason game on Aug. 23.

In the 2024 season, Flowers recorded 1,059 yards and four touchdowns on 74 receptions across 17 regular-season games. He did not play in the playoffs due to a knee injury.

It will be interesting to see if Flowers can post even better numbers in the 2025 season.
