Flowers was released by the Commanders on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Flowers started 16 games for Washington last season after being acquired via trade in the offseason, but his release allows the Commanders to free up cap space heading into free agency. The 2015 first-round pick figures to garner plenty of attention from teams in search of offensive line help.

Flowers (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Flowers tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday but will now be cleared to rejoin the team. He should start in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Giants.

Flowers (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Flowers tested positive for the virus, but he is vaccinated so he still has a small chance to test out of protocols before Sunday's matchup with the Eagles. However, if he is unable to suit up, then Jamil Douglas or Saahdiq Charles is expected to draw the start at left guard.

Flowers (foot) is active for Sunday's contest against the Raiders.

EDGE Analysis

Despite not practicing Thursday or Friday, Flowers will be active for Week 13. Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports not only will he be available, he will also draw the start at left guard.

The Dolphins traded Flowers to the Washington Football Team on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Flowers signed a three-year, $30 million contract last offseason and ended up starting 14 games for the Dolphins. He was a bust at left tackle after being a top-10 pick in the 2015 draft, but he's revived his career at left guard, turning into a 16-game starter for Washington in 2019. He might be the top interior backup, rather than the starting left guard, in his second stint with the Washington Football Team.

Flowers (ankle) is active for Saturday's game against the Raiders.

EDGE Analysis

Flowers will return to the field after a two-game absence. He's expected to start at left guard in Week 16.

Flowers (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game versus the Raiders, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Solomon Kindley (knee) ruled out, Flowers' status in Week 16 is even more important. Adam Pankey and Michael Deiter are both candidates to slot in at left guard if Flowers can't go.

Flowers (ankle) won't suit up in Sunday's game against the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Flowers suffered the ankle injury in Week 13 against the Bengals and he'll miss his second straight game. With Flowers sidelined again, expect Solomon Kindley to handle the left guard position, with Jesse Davis assuming the right guard role for Sunday's contest.

Flowers (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Flowers put forth a trio of limited practices this week, so it would appear that he has at least a fair chance to retake the field. The starting left guard missed last weekend's loss to the Chiefs due to his ankle issue.

Flowers (ankle) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Flowers' absence could prove difficult for the Dolphins to overcome in a tough matchup against the Chiefs, given that the team had real difficulty providing consistent pass protection even with every starter healthy. To make matters worse, fellow starting guard Solomon Kindley (foot) has also been managing an injury of his own.
