Not ready to return from IR Coach Pete Carroll said Saturday that Flowers (hamstring) will remain on injured reserve for another week, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
Impact Flowers was designated to return from IR on Dec. 23, but it's now confirmed the 25-year-old safety will be unavailable as Seattle hosts the division-rival Rams in Week 16. Prior to his injury, Flowers had been getting more involved defensively by recording five consecutive starts Weeks 8 through 12. Shaquill Griffin and D.J. Reed remain Seattle's top corners for a matchup against Los Angeles' 13th-ranked pass offense.

Designated to return Flowers (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
Impact Flowers landed on IR on Dec. 5, and he is now eligible to return to practice. Per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic, Flowers is likely to suit up for Sunday's key divisional clash against the Rams. If that is the case, Flowers will likely fill a situational role in Seattle's secondary.

Likely to return Week 16 Flowers (hamstring) is on track to return in Week 16, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Impact Flowers has been on injured reserve since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 12. He's expected to return to practice next week, and if all goes well, he'll be in the lineup for a crucial divisional showdown versus the Rams in Week 16. Quinton Dunbar has returned from IR as well, meaning Flowers will shift back to a situational role upon his return to the lineup.

Doubtful Week 13 Flowers (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Giants, Joe Fann of NBC Sports Northwest reports.
Impact The 25-year-old is unlikely to play this weekend after picking up the hamstring injury last week against the Eagles, though he played every defensive snap in that contest. D.J. Reed could step into the starting role if Flowers is unavailable as expected.

Dealing with hamstring injury Flowers (hamstring) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact Flowers played all 71 defensive snaps in Monday's win over the Eagles, so it's unclear when he suffered the injury. This is worth keeping an eye on, as it would be yet another knock on the Seahawks' secondary if Flowers can't play Sunday against the Giants. With Quinton Dunbar (knee) required to serve at least one more game on IR, D.J. Reed likely would cover the outside corner spot in Flowers' place.

Impact Flowers started two games this season when Quinton Dunbar was unable to go, and now he's filling in for Griffin. The 49ers don't have any game-breaking wide receivers, especially with Deebo Samuel (hamstring) out, but Flowers will have his hands full with rookie Brandon Aiyuk and Kendrick Bourne. Over six games this season, Flowers has let up a 122.0 passer rating and a touchdown when targeted.

Starting against Dolphins Flowers will start at cornerback Sunday against the Dolphins following news that Quinton Dunbar (knee) is inactive, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Impact The Seahawks' secondary has a severe injury bug with Dunbar, Jamal Adams (groin) and Lano Hill (back) all inactive in addition to Marquise Blair (torn ACL), who is done for the year. As a result, Flowers will return to outside cornerback where he was a full-time starter last season and look to cover DeVante Parker and Preston Williams. Flowers has struggled this season, however, allowing a 133.9 passer rating when targeted.

Full practice participant Flowers (hand) practiced fully Wednesday and will play in Sunday's game versus the Cowboys, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Impact Flowers has a dislocated finger, but it's not holding him back in practice. He could be in line for a starting role Sunday depending on Quinton Dunbar's (knee) availability. Even if Dunbar plays, Flowers could see an increase in his snap count as the potential nickel safety since S Marquise Blair (torn ACL) is out for the year.

Suffers dislocated finger Flowers dislocated his finger during Sunday's 35-30 win over the Patriots, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Impact Coach Pete Carroll said Flowers will play through this injury. Flowers lost the starting job to Quinton Dunbar anyway, so his reps have been limited. However, with Marquise Blair (knee) out for the season, the nickel safety job has opened up. Ugo Amadi is the favorite to secure the role, but Flowers played safety in college and could enjoy a bump in usage moving forward.

Diggs, Adams a formidable duo at back of Seahawks defense
The dream of playing together for the same team will finally come true for Jamal Adams and Quandre Diggs when they line up for the Seahawks on Sunday against the Atlanta FalconsSEPTEMBER 10, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Shakes off injury Flowers (ankle) will play in Sunday's game against the Falcons after being left off of Wednesday's injury report, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact It's still unclear whether Flowers or Quinton Dunbar will start at cornerback in Week 1, and it's possible the two start out in a timeshare to begin the season. Flowers played safety at Oklahoma State but converted to cornerback when he was drafted by the Seahawks in 2018, and although there are still question marks, he's made steady improvements during his NFL career. This will be a defining season for the 25-year-old.
