Indianapolis waived Flowers on Monday.

Not on injury report
Flowers (leg) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report.
ANALYSIS
Flowers exited Indianapolis' win over the Bears in Week 3 due to a leg issue, but he now appears back to full health. With Kenny Moore (hip) and Chris Lammons (knee/ankle) both not practicing Wednesday, Flowers' availability could be key for the Colts secondary during Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.

Exits with leg injury
Flowers left Sunday's win over Chicago with an apparent right leg injury, the Indianapolis Star reports. He had five total tackles before departing.
ANALYSIS
Flowers hurt his right leg while making a tackle late in the game and did not return. He was able to walk off the field under his own power. The Colts could be thin in the secondary with both Flowers and Kenny Moore suffering injuries late in the win.

Inactive against Houston
Flowers is inactive for Sunday's game against Houston.
ANALYSIS
Flowers was one of the Colts' top cornerbacks in 2023 before tearing his Achilles in Week 4, but was healthy at the start of training camp. He then had a hamstring issue but wasn't on the injury report last week as he participated in practice. It's hard to tell if the Colts are just easing Flowers into action or if he's fallen down the depth chart after some struggles in the preseason.

Past Achilles injury
Flowers (Achilles) was spotted participating in Thursday's practice, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers was one of the Colts' top cornerbacks in 2023 before tearing his Achilles in Week 4, but it now seems as if he's moved past the issue. Now that Flowers is back at full health, he's expected to compete for another starting role in Indianapolis' secondary ahead of the team's 2024 campaign.

Expects to be ready for 2024
Flowers (Achilles) expects to be ready for the start of the 2024 season, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers began the 2023 season as a starting corner for the Colts and tallied 15 total tackles and three passes defensed before suffering a torn Achilles in Week 4. He should have the chance to maintain a significant role as an outside corner, opposite Juju Brents with Kenny Moore covering the slot.

Officially goes to IR
Indianapolis placed Flowers (Achilles) on its injured reserve list Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Flowers sustained a ruptured Achilles during Sunday's 29-23 overtime loss versus the Rams, so this procedural move was only a matter of time. He'll now begin the process of rehabbing with hopes of suiting back up in 2024.

Done for season
Flowers suffered a torn Achilles in Sunday's 29-23 loss to the Rams and will be out for the remainder of the season, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers came into Week 4 questionable due to an ankle injury, and it was initially believed the Pittsburgh State product just aggravated it. However, he suffered a much more significant injury, which will end his season prematurely. The 26-year-old will now focus on his path to recovery, while Isaiah McKenzie is likely the leading candidate to take over return duties and Jaylon Jones and Kenny Moore will be candidates to see extra opportunities in the secondary.

Aggravates ankle injury
Flowers aggravated his ankle injury during Sunday's 29-23 overtime loss to the Rams, Stephen Holder of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers was dealing with an ankle injury heading into Sunday's game where he seemingly re-injured it. The 26-year-old was seen on crutches following the loss and while there's no timetable on his return, JuJu Brents and Isaiah Mckenzie will take over for Flowers at corner and kick returner respectively if he misses time.
Sep 24, 2023
Will play Sunday
Flowers (ankle) is active for Sunday's contest against the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
Flowers was hit with the questionable tag after being limited in Friday's practice session. He's registered six tackles (four solo) and a pass deflection in two games this season.
Sep 22, 2023
Gets surprise questionable tag
Flowers (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
After practicing fine Wednesday and Thursday, Flowers was bothered by an ankle injury Friday that kept him limited. It seems like he could sit out in Week 3, and if that's the case, Darrell Baker and Kenny Moore (knee) would figure to be Indianapolis' top cover corners against Lamar Jackson and Baltimore.
Sep 12, 2023
Five tackles in Sunday's loss
Flowers had five total tackles and returned a kickoff for 19 yards in Sunday's loss to Jacksonville.
ANALYSIS
Flowers started at cornerback and also worked as the team's kickoff returner. He didn't work as the punt returner, however, as Isaiah McKenzie fielded both punt returns. Flowers will be counted on as a starter in the secondary after being used mostly on special teams last season.
Sep 5, 2023
Starting cornerback and return man
Flowers is listed as both the team's top punt and kick returner along with a starting cornerback in Indianapolis' first unofficial depth chart of the regular season.
ANALYSIS
Flowers will start at cornerback next to Dareel Baker and Kenny Moore as the nickelback. Flowers could have extra value in leagues with return yardage, though the team may elect to only use him as a returner in key spots since he'll have an important role on defense.
Nov 29, 2022
Has 89-yard kickoff return
Flowers had two kick off returns for 118 yards, including an 89-yard return, in Monday's loss to Pittsburgh.
ANALYSIS
Flowers played all 12 of his snaps on special teams. While he had a big return that later led to an Indy touchdown, he split kick return duties with Isaiah Rodgers. That makes him a tough start even in leagues with return yardage.
