Ravens’ updated 53-man roster entering Week 2 against the Saints

We're examining the Ravens updated 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's home opener against the Saints

The Baltimore Ravens are set to face the New Orleans Saints in their Week 2 home opener, with various injury concerns across key positions. The team's leading wide receiver Zay Flowers is doubtful after sustaining a hamstring injury during their previous victory over Indianapolis, as he only recently returned to limited practice.

Rookie Ja'Kobi Lane, who underwent wrist surgery, has been placed on injured reserve, while Chris Moore has been promoted to the active roster. Devontez Walker, who missed Week 1 due to a groin injury, is now available to play. On the defensive side, Nnamdi Madubuike and Teddye Buchanan have been ruled out, as well as cornerback T.J.

Tampa. Trey Hendrickson, Ronnie Stanley, and John Simpson are all questionable, with Stanley's toe injury and Simpson's groin injury being the main concerns. Quarterback Lamar Jackson had a strong performance in the opener, completing 17 of 25 passes for 324 yards, including a touchdown and rushing for 43 yards and a score. Backup Tyler Huntley, who completed 77.6% of his passes and had a 103.1 passer rating last season, is expected to provide valuable support.

Running back Derrick Henry expanded his role in the opener, rushing for 144 yards and three touchdowns, while Justice Hill, despite limited offensive snaps, remains a crucial third-down and pass-protection back. Offensive line Ronnie Stanley and John Simpson are both questionable, with Stanley dealing with a toe injury and Simpson with a groin injury.
