Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers and starting offensive linemen Tyler Linderbaum and Daniel Faalele were among the players listed as not participating in practice Sunday as the team began preparations for its Christmas game against the Houston Texans.
The Ravens’ injury report was only an estimation based on a late-afternoon walk-through.
Flowers was listed with a shoulder injury a day after he played 87% of the team’s offensive snaps and caught five passes for 100 yards in the Ravens’ 34-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Faalele was absent with a knee injury after playing all 62 offensive snaps against Pittsburgh. He also appeared on the injury report last week.
Linderbaum was listed with a back injury after he also played every snap in the win over the Steelers, but he was in his jersey at the portion of the walk-through open to reporters.
“We’re pretty optimistic about those guys,” coach John Harbaugh said after Sunday’s walk-through.
Running back Justice Hill was missing as expected after he left Saturday’s game with a concussion suffered on a scary crash to the ground. The short turnaround to the Houston game makes it unlikely Hill will have time to clear the league’s head injury protocol. If he can’t go, Rasheen Ali and Keaton Mitchell will likely back up Derrick Henry.
Wide receiver Nelson Agholor remained absent because of the concussion that kept him out of Saturday’s game. Cornerbacks Tre’Davious White (shoulder) and Jalyn Armour-Davis (hamstring) were also missing. Safety Beau Brade was present but limited by a shoulder injury.
The Texans listed defensive end Will Anderson Jr. (hand), defensive tackle Folorunso Fatukasi (foot), safety Jimmie Ward (foot) and right guard Shaq Mason (knee) as nonparticipants on their estimated injury report Sunday. Wide receiver Tank Dell is out indefinitely after he suffered a significant knee injury in Houston’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday.
