Ravens WR Zay Flowers Dodges Serious Hamstring Injury in Blowout Win Over Colts

Zay Flowers leaving a game with a hamstring injury is usually the exact type of alert that ruins a perfectly good Sunday afternoon.

But according to Ian Rapoport, the Baltimore Ravens wide receiver avoided anything serious during Sunday's 41-23 blowout win over the Indianapolis Colts.

"Ian Rapoport reported that if it was a playoff game, Flowers likely would have returned."

Flowers is officially considered day-to-day heading into a precautionary MRI. In the NFL, that is essentially the equivalent of a mandatory check engine light.

The funniest part of the report is the classic insider caveat that Flowers likely would have returned if it were a playoff game.

Considering the Ravens were busy hanging 41 points on the Colts in mid-September, risking your top target's hamstring for a few extra reps would have been pure coaching malpractice.

Fantasy managers and prop bettors can officially exhale instead of frantically trying to figure out who the next man up is in the Baltimore passing attack.

We will wait for the actual MRI results to confirm the timeline, but for now, it looks like the Ravens dodged a massive bullet heading into next week.
