Jennings is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Lions due to a head injury, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Jennings delayed the game in the second quarter and is being evaluated for a concussion. Ray-Ray McCloud will be asked to step up if Jennings is unable to return. Jennings was not targeted prior to his exit.

Flowers secured five of eight targets for 115 yards and a touchdown and rushed twice for four yards in the Ravens' 17-10 AFC Championship Game loss to the Chiefs on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Flowers' turnover was of such importance that it nearly overshadowed his otherwise spectacular performance in his second career postseason game. The rookie first-round pick recorded a picturesque 30-yard scoring grab in the first quarter to answer the Chiefs' first touchdown and then added a 54-yard reception to kick off a late third-quarter drive. However, Flowers was flagged for taunting at the end of that play, and the 15 yards that cost Baltimore may have changed the dynamic of their play calling. Instead of focusing on the run, the Ravens took to the air, and Flowers eventually fumbled just before crossing the goal line at the end of an eight-yard catch, a critical turnover given the game's final score. The disappointing end to the season doesn't take away from the optimism Flowers generated with his first-year performance, as he posted a 77-858-5 line across 16 regular-season games while adding eight carries for 56 yards and another score.

Bell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Lions, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

Bell will sit out a second straight game after not suiting up for the Niners' divisional-round win over the Packers. His last appearance was Week 18 against the Rams, when he played 44 snaps -- 37 on offense and seven on special teams -- and caught one of five targets for a five-yard touchdown.

Wallace (knee) is listed as inactive for Sunday's AFC Championship Game versus the Chiefs.

Wallace now will miss his second straight playoff game due to a knee injury. The 24-year-old caught just one pass this season when the Ravens rested a number of key starters Week 18. Wallace's absence shouldn't impact Baltimore's receiving corps, but it will leave the team without it's No. 2 kick and punt returner behind Devin Duvernay.

The 49ers elevated Snead to the active roster Saturday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Snead signed with the 49ers' practice squad Dec. 27 after being let go from the main roster one day earlier. If he's active for Sunday's game against the Lions, it'll be the first time he's suited up since Week 16 against the Ravens. In four appearances during the regular season, Snead caught two of three targets for 14 yards.

The Ravens elevated Chisena to the active roster Saturday.

Chisena signed with the Ravens' practice squad Jan. 10. He was elevated for Baltimore's AFC divisional-round win over the Texans, and he played 16 snaps on special teams. Chisena will likely reprise that role Sunday if he's active.

Toney (hip/personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's AFC Championship Game matchup with the Ravens.

Toney practiced in a limited fashion both Thursday and Friday, but he'll still end up missing a sixth consecutive game. In addition to managing the hip issue, Toney will also be away from the Chiefs while he awaits the birth of his first child. Justin Watson and Mecole Hardman should continue to see expanded snaps at receiver Sunday while Toney is unavailable.

Samuel (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Lions after practicing fully Friday.

After being deemed a non-participant in Wednesday's practice, Samuel was a limited participant Thursday and closed out the week with an uncapped session, setting the stage for the receiver to play without restrictions Sunday. Samuel sustained a left shoulder injury during last Saturday's 24-21 divisional-round win over the Packers, but he was fortunate to avoid any structural damage after fracturing the same shoulder earlier in the season. Assuming Samuel experiences no in-game setbacks, he'll continue to maintain his key role in the 49ers offense opposite fellow starting wideout Brandon Aiyuk.

Raymond (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

The 29-year-old wideout is now set to miss his third consecutive game after sustaining a knee injury during the Lions' Week 18 win over the Vikings. Donovan Peoples-Jones could be in for a larger role in Detroit's wide receiver corps without Raymond in the NFC Championship Game.

Wallace (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs.

Wallace began Baltimore's week of practice with a DNP, but he was able to follow that up with back-to-back limited sessions and he's got a chance to play this weekend. If Wallace is able to suit up for the AFC Championship Game, he'd likely serve as a depth piece in the Ravens' wide receiver room as well as the team's second-string kick and punt returner.
