Is Zay Flowers playing today? Ravens wide receiver has quiet first half

The Baltimore Ravens weren't sure if they were going to have wide receiver Zay Flowers for their Week 8 game against the Cleveland Browns, but the second-year wideout ultimately overcame his questionable tag to play.

Flowers suffered an ankle injury during the Week 7 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and was unable to practice the first two days of the week before finally getting in a limited session on Friday and drawing the questionable tag.

The Ravens took their decision on Flowers all the way up to kickoff and he was able to suit up against the Browns. However, Flowers has been very quiet over the first two quarters versus Cleveland.

Is Zay Flowers playing today?

Flowers is indeed in the lineup for the Ravens, but he didn't do anything in the first half, tallying just one catch for -1 yards. But his negative production wasn't for a lack of trying, that's for sure.

Early in the second quarter, Flowers was streaking down the field wide open but quarterback Lamar Jackson missed him after putting too much mustard on the football. A better pass would've resulted in a touchdown.

There are still two quarters remaining, so there's plenty of time for Flowers to make an impact. But right now, things aren't looking good for fantasy owners through 30 minutes of play.

The Ravens' offense wasn't very productive overall. Jackson had just 95 passing yards in the first half, and Baltimore scored 10 points, all of which came in the second quarter.
