Zay Flowers provided an update on his latest interactions with Lamar Jackson as the Baltimore Ravens gear up for the second half of the 2026 NFL season.
Flowers is going through the fourth season of his career with the Ravens. He shines as one of the best wideouts in the league, often having his best performances with Jackson leading the offense at quarterback.
However, Jackson is down for the count as he is on injured reserve with a significant thumb injury. This prompted Baltimore to acquire Jacoby Brissett from the Arizona Cardinals, assisting Flowers and the offense moving forward.
Flowers spoke with media on Thursday, per reporter Sam Cohn. He admitted he hasn't talked to Jackson recently, preferring to let the quarterback make a full recovery without interruptions.
“Nah, I haven't talked to Lamar about [coming back]. I'm just letting him rest,” Flowers said.

What lies ahead for Zay Flowers, Ravens
Zay Flowers and the Ravens still have a chance to get back into the playoff mix. However, it will require them to win most of their games while needing teams above them to sustain more losses.
Flowers has delivered solid performances throughout the first half of the season. After eight games, he made 43 catches for 614 yards and three touchdowns. He looks forward to seeing his production stabilize with Jacoby Brissett starting at quarterback.

In terms of the conference standings, they are 10th place. They are above the Houston Texans and the New York Jets while being under the Las Vegas Raiders and the Browns.
The Ravens will continue preparations for their next matchup, being at home. They host the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 10 as kickoff commences on Nov. 16 at 8:15 p.m. ET.
