The final game of Divisional Weekend feels like the main event of a big-time boxing event. Two AFC heavyweights are set for a 15-round fight as the No. 3-seed Baltimore Ravens visit the No. 2-seed Buffalo Bills. The winner heads to Arrowhead for the AFC Championship against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Both teams had rather easy times in the Wild Card Round. The Ravens scored a 28-14 win (after being up 21-0 at halftime) over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Bills had no trouble with the Denver Broncos, winning 31-7.
Here’s the injury news for Sunday’s huge AFC showdown.

Latest Injury Report News and Updates
While neither team has ruled any player out quite yet, it’s looking unlikely that Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (knee) will play. Flowers has been out since injuring his knee in Week 18 against the Cleveland Browns. If the Ravens win on Sunday, Jan. 19, there’s a chance Flowers could play in the AFC Championship Game.
The only other player even on the Ravens’ injury report, let alone with a game designation, is returner Deonte Harty, who is questionable with a knee injury. Harty is still in his 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve.
For the Bills, only one player has a game designation, rookie running back Ray Davis. Davis remains in the concussion protocol. The injury occurred during the Wild Card win over the Broncos. He was limited all week and is listed as questionable.
Returner Brandon Codrington (hamstring) is set to return after missing the victory against Denver. Every player on the Bills, except Davis, practiced in full Friday.
