Zay Flowers is active for Sunday Night Football, per Pro Football Talk and Yahoo Sports. The Ravens receiver will play in Week 5 against Atlanta, marking availability the team needed to confirm after the week's injury reports.
The absence of Baltimore's starting quarterback, not named in the reporting, leaves the passing game dependent on whoever steps in—making Flowers' availability particularly significant. Through three games this season, Flowers has not recorded a completion, attempt, or receiving yard, though those statistics may reflect limited action or injury time.
