OWINGS MILLS, MARYLAND — Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has been ruled out for Sunday’s home opener against the New Orleans Saints, the club announced Saturday afternoon.
Flowers left the Week 1 win over Indianapolis with a hamstring injury after posting 150 receiving yards and a touchdown. He had also missed two weeks of training camp with a hamstring issue. Rashod Bateman will move into the top receiver spot, with LaJohntay Wester, Devontez Walker, Chris Moore, and rookie Elijah Sarratt in line for more opportunities.
The Ravens signed linebacker Carl Jones Jr. from the practice squad to the 53-man roster and placed cornerback T.J. Tampa (knee) on injured reserve. Tampa will miss a minimum of four games. With inside linebacker Teddye Buchanan already ruled out, Jones adds depth after playing 19 special-teams snaps and making two tackles against the Colts.
Offensive tackle Gerad Lichtenhan was elevated from the practice squad for Sunday’s game. Tackle Ronnie Stanley (toe) and guard John Simpson (groin) remain questionable; if Stanley cannot play, second-year tackle Carson Vinson could make his first NFL start.
Kickoff at M&T Bank Stadium is still ahead at 1 p.m. ET, with Mid-Shore Ravens fans watching Baltimore without its leading Week 1 receiver.
