Zay Flowers

BAL Wide Receiver #4

Ravens downgraded WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) to out for Week 2 against the Saints.

The team pulled the plug on Flowers’ potential to play in Week 2 after the veteran receiver departed the team’s Week 1 win with a hamstring injury. No word yet on how long the injury is expected to sideline Flowers, who appears to have a good shot at suiting up when the team faces off against the Cowboys on the road in Week 3. Tight end Mark Andrews could see a slight uptick in volume in the interim.
Trey Hendrickson

BAL Outside Linebacker #91

Ravens OLB Trey Hendrickson (finger) is questionable for Week 2 against the Saints.

Hendrickson managed to upgrade to a limited showing in practice Friday after missing the previous two days, opening the door for him to be active on Sunday. The perennial tradition of the Ravens experiencing significant defensive injuries seems to be making an appearance early this year, with Nnamdi Madubuike and T.J. Tampa already ruled out.
Ronnie Stanley

BAL Tackle #79

Ravens LT Ronnie Stanley (toe) is questionable to play in Week 2 against the Saints.

Stanley and LG John Simpson (groin) both resumed practicing on Friday, though only via limited sessions. The left-side duo is firmly in the questionable column. If inactive, their losses could be somewhat consequential, though Saints EDGE Chase Young (calf) is also questionable to play.
Zay Flowers

BAL Wide Receiver #4

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) is doubtful to play in Week 2 against the Saints.

Flowers entered the season at the tail end of a rehab program for the hamstring strain he suffered on August 31st. He logged two full practice sessions before dominating the Colts early on in Week 1. Unfortunately, Flowers balled too hard, aggravating the hamstring injury in the process. He is unlikely to play this week, but his return to practice today is a great sign for his Week 3 availability. The Ravens placed WR Ja’Kobi Lane (wrist) on injured reserve this week. This means WRs Rashod Bateman, Elijah Sarratt and Devontez Walker could be asked to step up, although TE Mark Andrews will probably serve as the team’s top pass-catching option.
Zay Flowers

BAL Wide Receiver #4

Zay Flowers (hamstring) returned to practice on Friday.

Flowers missed back-to-back practices to start the week, but his return on Friday is an encouraging sign for him entering the weekend. The Ravens will release their final injury report shortly, but it wouldn’t be surprising if Flowers drew a questionable tag and was viewed as a game-day decision after the Ravens have a chance to look at him in warmups. We will provide an update on his status when we learn more.
Brandin Cooks

FA Wide Receiver #18

Free agent WR Brandin Cooks worked out for the Ravens on Thursday.

This is probably a bad sign regarding WR Zay Flowers’ (hamstring) Week 2 availability, though the Ravens also placed rookie WR Ja’Kobi Lane (wrist) on short-term injured reserve this week. A signing seems likely.
Rashod Bateman

BAL Wide Receiver #7

Ravens OC Declan Doyle said he was trying to get WR Rashod Bateman the ball more.

Bateman caught 1-of-2 targets in Week 1, but the catch was erased by a penalty. Bateman, 26, has never established himself as a reliable contributor. Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) is ailing and WR Ja’Kobi Lane (wrist) is on injured reserve. Those factors, coupled with Doyle’s comments, could result in one or two plays designed for Bateman early in the Ravens’ Week 2 game against the Saints, but Bateman’s long, unproductive history suggests he is not about to handle a big-time workload. He is not a recommended FLEX starter in 12-team leagues.
Ronnie Stanley

BAL Tackle #79

Ravens LT Ronnie Stanley (toe) did not practice on Thursday.

Stanley and LG John Simpson (groin) are both missing their second Week 2 practice. Entrenched veterans can sometimes play without practice, but this situation is worth monitoring. Playing without the left side of the offensive line would be suboptimal for the offense.
Zay Flowers

BAL Wide Receiver #4

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) was not seen practicing on Thursday.

Early reports regarding Flowers’ health and Week 2 availability were positive, but two missed practices put him firmly in the questionable camp, with a lean toward sitting. Flowers and TE Mark Andrews banked six targets apiece last week and were the only Ravens who cleared three. With WR Ja’Kobi Lane (wrist) on injured reserve, Andrews should handle another sizable workload. Ravens WRs Elijah Sarratt and Devontez Walker should both be active if Flowers sits.
Ronnie Stanley

BAL Tackle #79

Ravens LT Ronnie Stanley (toe) did not practice on Wednesday.

Ravens LG John Simpson (groin) was also sidelined. Both players are long-time veterans, so hopefully this is more of a maintenance issue than anything else. Losing the left side of the offensive line would make things more challenging for QB Lamar Jackson against the Saints.
