   Ravens' Zay Flowers Expected to Play Against Falcons Despite Foot Injury

   The Baltimore Ravens have received positive news regarding star receiver Zay Flowers, who was listed as questionable due to a foot injury ahead of their Week 5 game against the Atlanta Falcons. ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter reported that Flowers is expected to play. This season, Flowers has 18 receptions for 352 yards and 2 touchdowns, ranking ninth in the NFL in receiving yards despite missing a game. Flowers has been battling injuries throughout the season, including a hamstring injury during training camp and reaggravating it twice in the regular season, causing him to miss one game. With Lamar Jackson out, the Ravens will rely on Flowers as their top pass-catcher alongside Rashod Bateman and Mark Andrews. The Ravens will look to control the line of scrimmage and hold onto the ball, utilizing Derrick Henry and Tyler Huntley to lead the rushing attack against a strong Falcons defense.
