Ravens | Report: Zay Flowers' injury isn't considered serious Mon Sep 14, 10:57 AM
Ravens WR Zay Flowers, who left Sunday's win over the #Colts early, suffered a hamstring injury that is not considered serious, sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: Flowers will have an MRI, but if this had been a playoff game, Rapoport suggests Flowers likely would've returned. Flowers is considered day-to-day heading into testing. |

The initial diagnosis for Ravens rookie WR Ja'Kobi Lane is a fractured wrist suffered in today's win over the Colts, sources say.
| Footballguys view: Lane will undergo further testing, including an MRI, on Monday to determine the full extent of the injury. We'll follow up as needed. |
Ravens RB Derrick Henry carried the ball 24 times for 144 yards and three scores in the 41-23 win at Indianapolis. He added 19 yards on his only reception.
| Footballguys view: Father Time is undefeated, but as of now Derrick Henry is ahead of him on the judge's scorecards. Henry was as tough to bring down as ever in the romp over the Colts. He'll shoulder a lot of the offense in Week 2 with the Ravens wide receiver corps banged up. |

Lamar Jackson completed 17 of 25 passes for 324 yards and a score, and added 40 yards and a score on seven carries in the 41-23 win over Indianapolis
| Footballguys view: Jackson usually has his way with Lou Anarumo's defenses going back to when the Colts defensive coordinator had the same position with Cincinnati. This day was no different, as new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle has set Jackson up for success. He might still have a tougher Week 2 against New Orleans with two of his top three wideouts uncertain for the next game and maybe beyond. |

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Zay Flowers aggravated the hamstring injury suffered in joint practices against the Vikings. He missed a couple of weeks of practice before returning to action on September 3. He's questionable for next week's visit from the Saints.
| Footballguys view: FOX Sports' Jay Glazer is reporting the same. Flowers had an impressive first half in Indianapolis, with five catches for 150 yards. But his 54-yard touchdown catch-and-run included a tweak to his hamstring. And while he returned to the game, catching one more pass, he ended up exiting in the first half and not returning. If Flowers can't go, there will be more opportunities for LaJohntay Wester and Chris Moore. (The Ravens also lost receiver Ja'Kobi Lane to a wrist injury.) We'll monitor this one closely. |

Ravens WR Ja'Kobi Lane left the Week 1 game with a wrist injury.
| Footballguys view: Lane had a chance to step up into the No. 1 wide receiver role with Zay Flowers sidelined, but he promptly left with a wrist injury. We should assume that he won't be ready to play for a Week 2 matchup against the Saints, and he could be sidelined for longer. The Ravens should bring wide receivers for tryouts this week to help a depleted unit. |
Ravens WR Zay Flowers left the Week 1 game with a hamstring injury. He was on the injury report with a hamstring issue because of a limited practice earlier in the week. Flowers had five catches for 150 yards when he left the game.
| Footballguys view: Flowers had the look of a league winner with a huge first half that included a 54-yard catch and run score and another long play that ended with him tackled at the one-yard line. We can't say yet whether it was the same hamstring that had him on the injury report, but if you have Flowers you should prepare to be without him next week and potentially longer. Rashod Bateman could be a deep league pickup as long as Flowers is out, and Mark Andrews could also get some extra targets. |

After a limited practice on Wednesday, Zay Flowers logged back-to-back full practices to close out the week and is not on the final injury report.
| Footballguys view: Flowers is expected to be a full go for a Week 1 matchup against the Colts. There has been a lot of talk about a more pass-heavy approach in Baltimore, with a new head coach and offensive coordinator. Flowers was sixth in the league in receiving yards last year and is hoping to take another step forward in Year 4, as he's done every year of his career. He's a back-end WR1 heading into this matchup. Get him in your lineups. |

Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) was limited on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Flowers has been bothered by some nagging injuries this summer. A quad bruise had him missing time earlier in training camp, and now he's dealing with a hamstring injury. Flowers did tell reporters he feels "great" and is ready to go in Week 1 against the Colts. We like him as a mid-range WR2 with upside. |
Ravens WR Zay Flowers is practicing for the first time in two weeks. Flowers (undisclosed injury) hasn't practiced since the joint practices in Minnesota on Aug. 20. It looks like Lamar Jackson's favorite target is set for the Sept. 13 season opener.
| Footballguys view: The Ravens take on the Colts in Week 1, and Flowers should be good to go. He's had a couple of various injuries since training camp started, including a quad bruise and now this undisclosed lower-body injury. With Flowers out there this soon, he's set to participate more in practice next week. He's a WR2 with upside for Fantasy GMs out there. |

Ravens WR Rashod Bateman was arrested in June after allegedly breaking the windshield and windows of a car with his child and the child's mother inside, but he was not placed on paid leave by the NFL ahead of the cut to 53 players last weekend. That leaves Bateman available to the Ravens as the league's investigation into the matter plays out. On Wednesday, Ravens General Manager Eric DeCosta said that he doesn't know the timeline for that process. "In these matters we just kind of sit back and wait for the league and the authorities to tell us what's going on," DeCosta said. "I have no indication how long that's going to take."
| Footballguys view: After a 45-catch season in 2024, Bateman had a disappointing 2025 with only 19 catches for 224 yards and two touchdowns. Currently, Bateman is not suspended although that still may be coming upon further investigation. The Ravens are looking for another weapon to go along with Zay Flowers, and guys like Ja'Kobi Lane/Devontez Walker would do more if Bateman has to miss time. |

Baltimore Ravens GM Eric DeCosta said he is "optimistic" about reaching a contract extension with QB Lamar Jackson.
| Footballguys view: In fact, DeCosta said he would like to get a deal done sooner rather than later. With two years left on his deal, it would benefit Jackson and the Ravens to get something finished. There's not really a time crunch, but we could see something happening here before the start of the new league year. |

Baltimore Ravens RB Adam Randall (undisclosed) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Sunday, Aug. 30, but is designated to return.
| Footballguys view: Randall will be required to miss at least the first four games before he can be activated. The Ravens have not disclosed the specific injury connected to the move. Derrick Henry, Justice Hill, and Rasheen Ali are the three running backs on Baltimore's active roster. The move also leaves the Ravens with an open active-roster position that could be used on a waiver claim or veteran addition. |

Link to storyBaltimore Ravens DT Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) still has not participated in team drills during training camp and could be a candidate to start the season on the Reserve/Injured list.
| Footballguys view: There was excitement about Madubuike potentially playing this year, but his return is not at hand yet. It has still been a great first camp for Jesse Minter's defense and we should consider them a top 10-12 unit. When Madubuike comes back, they could be even better. |

Baltimore Ravens WR Elijah Sarratt is expected to make the 53-man roster but may be inactive most weeks since he is not a big factor on special teams, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley.
Link to storyBaltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Aug. 26.
| Footballguys view: Earlier this month, Flowers had to miss time with what was called a quad bruise after a collision with a defender. That was a couple of weeks ago, so this undisclosed injury might be something new - or a re-aggravation. When more information is revealed, we'll be able to decipher Flowers' health status for Week 1. |

Baltimore Ravens RB Rasheen Ali (undisclosed) could begin the season on the Reserve/Injured list, in the opinion of ESPN's Jamison Hensley, who notes that Ali has missed considerable time with an undisclosed injury.
Link to storyBaltimore Ravens C Danny Pinter (knee) will miss the entire 2026 season because of his torn patellar tendon, according to head coach Jesse Minter.
Link to storyBaltimore Ravens RBs Derrick Henry, Justice Hill and Adam Randall are not playing during the preseason game Saturday, Aug. 22. RB Rasheen Ali (undisclosed) is not playing because of an injury.
| Footballguys view: That the fifth round pick (and personal choice of owner Steve Bisciotti) Randall was sitting with the established veteran backs is a good sign that the new staff has seen everything they need to see from him. Randall's dynasty value is on the rise and he would probably be the best waiver wire add if Derrick Henry goes down. |

Baltimore Ravens WR Ja'Kobi Lane finished with three receptions on three targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in the preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles Saturday, Aug. 15.
| Footballguys view: The hype train for Lane is not slowing down. He is firmly in the top three Ravens wide receivers, and could overtake Rashod Bateman in the target pecking order soon at this rate. Lane should be on your late round target list, with extra value in .5 and nonPPR leagues as a deep threat and playmaker. |
Free-agent RB Jonathan Ward was re-signed by the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, Aug. 16. He spent the 2025 season splitting between the practice squad of the Ravens, New England Patriots and New York Giants.

Baltimore Ravens DT Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) is slowly making progress in his recovery from offseason neck surgery in April, but the team will be cautious pushing him in training camp. 'He looks phenomenal. I know he wants to be just doing everything he can to be back out there, and when he is out there, I expect him to look like the Nnamdi we have grown to know and love throughout the years,' defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver said. He took part in positional drills this past week, but the team continues to focus on his long-term health, so the team will not rush him back leading up to the regular sesaon.
