The Baltimore Ravens might be forced to open the playoffs without Pro Bowl wide receiver Zay Flowers.
Flowers was injured during the Ravens' win over the Cleveland Browns on Saturday.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Flowers is believed to be dealing with a knee sprain, pending the results of his MRI.
The injury is not considered major at this time, however, it is possible he will miss next week's wild-card game, Rapoport adds.
The second-year receiver began grabbing at his right leg after a short catch-and-run in the second quarter. It appeared he may have been hit on the knee by Cleveland's Mohamoud Diabate. Flowers was eventually able to get up and walk gingerly off the field.
Flowers has given Baltimore much-needed production from the receiver spot this season, catching 74 passes for 1,059 yards and four touchdowns. The five-foot-nine Flowers occasionally puts his shiftiness to use in the running game as well.
The Ravens clinched the AFC North title and the No. 3 seed in the playoffs with Saturday's win. They still do not know who their opponent will be next week.
