Flowers has not cleared the NFL concussion protocol necessary to return to practice, Eric Williams of ESPN reports.

Analysis:

With Jason Verrett also not practicing, it's not looking good for the Chargers to return what was one of the best cornerback tandems in the league this season. If Flowers manages to clear the concussion protocol in the next couple of days, he would still figure to be limited against the Dolphins on Sunday.
