SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers, who was questionable for Monday night’s showdown against the San Francisco 49ers with a foot injury, is active for the blockbuster between the NFL’s two best teams and top two defenses.

Flowers, who leads the team in catches and receiving yards, was a full practice participant Friday and Saturday. Coach John Harbaugh said earlier in the week that he had “no concern” about the rookie’s availability to face the NFC-leading 49ers, who are allowing the second-fewest points per game (16.7) behind the Ravens (16.1) and surrender the second-fewest passing yards (262.6) per game.

AFC-leading Baltimore (11-3) will, however, be without cornerbacks Arthur Maulet (knee) and Jalyn-Armour Davis (concussion).

Earlier in the day, Baltimore elevated wide receiver Laquon Treadwell and outside linebacker Jeremiah Moon from the practice squad. The move is likely special teams related with Maulet and Armour-Davis out.

Also inactive for the Ravens are guard Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu, center Sam Mustipher, cornerback Damarion “Pepe” Williams” and quarterbacks Josh Johnson and Malik Cunningham, with Johnson designated as the emergency third quarterback.

The 49ers (11-3), meanwhile, will be without second-string running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) and key defenders defensive tackle Arik Armstead (foot/knee) and linebacker Oren Burks (knee). Their best interior pass rusher, Javon Hargrave, is active, though, after being questionable with a hamstring injury.

Other players inactive for San Francisco are No. 3 wide receiver Jauan Jennings (concussion), reserve tight end Ross Dwelley (ankle), cornerback Samuel Womack and quarterback Brandon Allen.
