Zay Flowers (hamstring) absent again on Thursday

Key Points:
- Ravens wide receiver Ja’Kobi Lane underwent surgery for a wrist fracture and will miss at least four games, being placed on short-term injured reserve with eligibility to return in Week 6.
- No. 1 WR Zay Flowers is nursing a hamstring injury sustained during Week 1 but is considered day-to-day and may be able to play in Week 2 against the Saints, pending further evaluation.
- Rookie WR Elijah Sarratt is expected to be active for Week 2, though his role depends on Flowers' availability; the team may also consider adding a free agent wideout to bolster the receiving corps.
- Flowers had an impressive first half in Week 1 with 5 receptions for 150 yards and a touchdown before leaving the game due to his hamstring issue, which is not believed to be serious but warrants caution.
- Tight end Mark Andrews remains a key target for Lamar Jackson, especially if Flowers misses time, as he saw increased involvement in Week 1 and could see a boost in fantasy value if the receiving options are limited.
