What to know

  • Zay Flowers, Baltimore's top receiver, has been questionable since a Week 1 hamstring injury and sat out Week 2 entirely.
  • The Ravens plan to decide his availability after a pregame workout Sunday and may limit him to a restricted 'pitch count' of snaps even if he plays.
  • Left tackle Ronnie Stanley was ruled out for the Week 3 game in Brazil against Dallas, per the team's final injury report.
  • Flowers' uncertain, limited status complicates fantasy decisions for both him and backup Rashod Bateman, whose usage swings heavily based on Flowers' availability.

“With this news, we are benching Flowers whether he plays or not.”
