Team news: Baltimore Ravens

Flowers did not practice Thursday because of his hamstring injury, his second consecutive absence. Head coach Jesse Minter has described Flowers as day-to-day.

Baltimore is already without rookie Ja’Kobi Lane, who was placed on injured reserve with a wrist injury. Offensive coordinator Declan Doyle acknowledged that the team may need to adjust its game plan if Flowers is unavailable.

Flowers will likely need to return Friday to enter the weekend without a highly concerning designation. Bateman and Andrews would be the primary beneficiaries of an absence, while Moore, Walker, Wester and Sarratt could all receive additional reps. Baltimore also had two starting offensive linemen miss Thursday, adding modest downside to the entire offense.

Lane will be placed on injured reserve after undergoing wrist surgery, head coach Jesse Minter confirmed. He will miss at least four games.

Lane’s absence removes one developmental option from Baltimore’s rotation. Bateman and Andrews remain the most likely beneficiaries if Flowers also misses time, while Moore, Wester, Walker and Sarratt will compete for complementary snaps.

Zay Flowers is not practicing Wednesday as the Ravens begin preparations to take on the New Orleans Saints in Week 2.

After exploding with 150 yards and a touchdown in the first half in Indianapolis, Flowers was sidelined by a hamstring injury, which he also dealt with during training camp. On Monday, Head Coach Jesse Minter said Flowers is day to day.

A Wednesday absence does not rule Flowers out, but the recurring hamstring issue makes Thursday’s participation especially important. With Lane also sidelined by a fractured wrist, Bateman and Andrews would become Baltimore’s most established receiving options if Flowers cannot play. Sarratt and Walker would have opportunities to avoid otherwise dormant player pages, but neither would immediately become a dependable fantasy starter.

Ravens promising rookie wide receiver Ja’Kobi Lane (wrist) is currently expected to undergo surgery in the coming days, potentially as soon as tomorrow, sources tell CBS Sports.

The post went on to say the current hope, per sources, is for him to be able to return in around a month. We reported Monday the Ravens and Lane were seeking second and third opinions on the wrist injury, but ultimately opt for the surgery. The Ravens find themselves a bit banged up at the position heading into Week 2.

Ja'Kobi Lane may be out a bit longer with a fractured wrist.

Lane and the Ravens are getting second and third opinions this week, according to the post, so there is no official timetable at this point. Lane played on about 40% of the offensive snaps and was targeted three times, including once in the end zone. He finished with a catch for 11 yards. Lane was a popular pick in dynasty drafts after having a strong camp.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers, who left Sunday’s win over the Colts early, suffered a hamstring injury that is not considered serious, sources say.

Rapoport went on to say Flowers will have an MRI, but if it was a playoff game, he likely would’ve returned. Flowers is considered day-to-day heading into testing, Rapoport added. Overall it's good news, but owners will want to watch this closely as the week goes on as hamstrings are obviously pretty tricky. The Ravens have an early window game in Week 2 against the Saints at home.

This largely clears the lingering concern surrounding Flowers’ Week 1 availability. He can remain ranked as a low-end WR1 and started normally barring a late setback. Bateman, Lane, and Baltimore’s fringe receivers no longer warrant speculative boosts based on Flowers’ health.

Flowers’ return removes most of the remaining concern surrounding his two-week absence. There has been no indication that the injury will limit him in Week 1.

Jesse Minter said all of the Ravens’ young players have made “tremendous” strides in camp.

On injury front, Zay Flowers and Zion Young were held out for precautionary reasons. They’ll be ready Week 1.

Bilhal Kone might play Friday. He’s dealing with a minor injury, per Minter.

The lack of a disclosed diagnosis makes Flowers worth monitoring, but the team’s explicit Week 1 expectation keeps this firmly in the precautionary category.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers suffered a quad contusion during Saturday’s practice.

Flowers had just signed a four year extension worth $140 million. His $35 million average value tied him with Justin Jefferson. He is considered day-to-day and we will have more updates as they come along.
