Scoring Zone's Take
Zay Flowers is back on the practice field with Baltimore after missing time, and that's a clean positive signal heading into your draft prep. Both sources confirm the return with high confidence, and there's no indication of a setback or lingering concern attached to the absence itself — just that he was out and now he's not. For a player who profiles as Lamar Jackson's primary target in the passing game, any missed practice time is worth flagging on your injury tracker, but a full return this early in August is about as clean a resolution as you can ask for.
For draft purposes, treat this as a green light rather than a red flag. Flowers should be drafted according to his standard preseason ranking as a high-end WR2 with WR1 upside in Baltimore's offense; there's no reason from this news to downgrade him or to reach for insurance at the position. If you had him marked with an asterisk due to the earlier absence, you can remove that now and draft him at his normal ADP rather than letting him slide.
Confidence here is high given both outlets confirm the same development, but keep an eye on beat reports over the rest of camp — a single practice return doesn't guarantee a fully clean bill of health for the entire preseason. Barring further news, there's no action needed beyond keeping Flowers in his current tier on your board; this is a add-back-to-normal-value situation, not a buy-low or sell-high scenario.
