Jamison Hensley (@jamisonhensley): Ravens WR Zay Flowers is practicing for the first time in two weeks. Flowers (undisclosed injury) hasn’t practiced since the joint practices in Minnesota on Aug. 20. It looks like Lamar Jackson’s favorite target is set for the Sept. 13 season opener.
The timeline matters: Flowers, dealing with an undisclosed injury, had not practiced since the joint practices in Minnesota on Aug. 20. He was the only member of the 53-man roster not practicing Wednesday, though he was running off to the side — and one day later, he was back in uniform, per Hensley.
Baltimore's opener is Sept. 13 at Indianapolis, and Hensley writes that it looks like Lamar Jackson's favorite target is set for it. The return ends a quiet two-week stretch for a Ravens team that otherwise heads into the season about as healthy as it could have hoped — 52 of 53 players were practicing even before Flowers came back.
Flowers has been the Ravens' most productive receiver, and having him at full strength against the Colts — rather than managing his way into the season — removes the biggest question mark hovering over Baltimore's opener.
