## Flowers injured in Week 1 win
The Ravens wide receiver suffered a hamstring injury on his fifth catch in the second quarter of Baltimore's 41-23 victory over Indianapolis. He didn't return to the game.
## Impressive performance before injury
Before leaving the game, Flowers had five catches for 150 yards and a touchdown in less than two full quarters. It was a monster start to his season.
## Not expected to be long-term
Multiple reports indicate the hamstring injury is not serious. Flowers signed a four-year, $140 million contract extension this offseason.
## Would've played in playoffs
If Week 1 had been a playoff game, Flowers would have reportedly returned to the field. That suggests the injury is manageable.
## Ravens may rest him anyway
Flowers won't practice Wednesday and may sit out Sunday's game against New Orleans. Baltimore is a heavy favorite regardless.
## Sunday kickoff at 1 p.m. ET
The Ravens play the Saints in Week 2 with kickoff scheduled for 1 p.m. Eastern Time. The decision on Flowers' availability should come before then.
## Key takeaway

Zay Flowers has a hamstring injury that's not considered long-term, and the Ravens may rest him this week despite being heavy favorites.
