Ravens | Zay Flowers back in practice; on track for Week 1 Thu Sep 3, 02:38 PM
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.

Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson will reportedly not play in any preseason games, according to Ravens HC Jesse Minter on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here. He's a seasoned veteran, with a new offense, that doesn't need every rep in the preseason (or any reps). Jackson said new OC Declan Doyle's play calling is "mind blowing." We're excited to see Jackson is Doyle's offense this year. Jackson has a current ADP of QB3 (6.02) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers (quadriceps) returned to practice Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Jesse Minter did not sound too concerned about Flowers after Monday's practice, so it is not too surprising to hear that he's back in the mix. Flowers, who finished as WR7 last year, is being drafted as WR15. |
