The Ravens are in "we'll see mode" regarding the knee injury of Zay Flowers that he sustained in W18, he can play without practicing so he will continue to be monitored before Sunday's matchup vs the Bills however we think it is unlikely he will play.
Robert Woods is listed as questionable with a hip injury ahead of Saturday's divisional round game vs the Chiefs, he hasn't practiced this week so far, lowering his chances of availability for this weekend.
David Montgomery carries no injury designation ahead of Saturday's Divisional Round vs the Commanders, we had always believed his MCL injury was not season-ending and he was a full participant in practice this week, he should be an effective 1B running back alongside Jahmyr Gibbs
Isiah Pacheco was a full participant in practice on Tuesday from the rib injury he had been managing, he sustained the injury on Christmas day, but he will be good to go for the Divisional round on Saturday vs the Texans.
Joe MIxon is listed as questionable with an ankle injury ahead of Saturday's game vs the Chiefs, he was a DNP on Thursday after being limited earlier in the week, his status will be monitored as he may be a game-time decision.
Dalton Schultz carries no injury designation ahead of Saturday's game vs the Chiefs, he had been managing a shoulder injury but so far hasn't cost him any missed time.
Tyler Higbee sustained a chest injury and was reportedly coughing up blood after the game and hospitalized as a precaution, no evidence of a collapsed lung or any internal injuries like that, has been limited in practice this week, a very positive sign, we're hopeful he can play this weekend in the Divisional Round.
Shaq Mason carries no injury designation ahead of Saturday's Divisional Round matchup vs the Chiefs from the MCL injury that has seen him sidelined since W17, he was a practice participant on Thursday and has progressed enough to return to the lineup.
Jaylen Watson is listed as questionable with a lower leg injury ahead of Saturday's game vs the Chiefs, he was designated to return from IR on Jan. 3 and was a full participant in practice all week, Watson would have to be activated from IR before Saturday's playoff bout in order to play.
