With kickoff fast approaching between the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens, the final injury report and inactives lists are finally here. One of the season's most hotly-coveted matchups will be underway momentarily. So, who's in, and who's out?
Injury Report Breakdowns
With their wild card games turning into blowouts, the Bills and Ravens got to coast in the second half of the first round, and are in better shape than expected as a result. Both teams have dealt with some injuries this week, but have come out mostly intact. The final injury reports, with gameday rosters and inactives, are all right here.

The Buffalo Bills had only two players on the injury report listed as anything other than a full participant every day. Notable 6th lineman Alec Anderson, having suffered a calf injury against the Denver Broncos, was limited in the first two practices of the week, but came in on Friday with a green light. He will be active.
Running back Ray Davis is a different issue. He took a rough hit to the head attempting to catch a pass from Josh Allen last weekend, and ended this week as a limited participant who had yet to leave concussion protocol. He has cleared concussion protocol and will be active today.
Punt and kick returner Brandon Codrington missed the wild card round with a hamstring injury. This week, he practiced fully but will not be active.

The Baltimore Ravens, too, are shockingly healthy for this point in the year. Only two names grace the cover at all. One is receiver and return specialist Deonte Harty, who played the same role for the Buffalo Bills a season ago. He was active last week, despite his knee injury, and will be active again this week.
The most notable injury for either side is the one for receiver Zay Flowers. Flowers is the Ravens' leading receiver, with over 1000 yards this season and four scores on 74 targets. In Week 18, the Baltimore Ravens needed to secure their division with a win, and Flowers suffered his injury in the process. He was listed as doubtful after missing two consecutive weeks of practice. He will be inactive today.
