Ravens Week 2 injury report: Flowers doubtful, 3 starters questionable

Flowers, 26, racked up 150 yards on just five catches in the first half of the Ravens' Week 1 win over the Indianapolis Colts before aggravating the hamstring issue that had been bothering him for a few weeks. He returned to practice on Friday in a limited capacity after two absences, but that may not be enough for him to play on Sunday. The two-time Pro Bowler will likely go through a pre-game warm-up, but his designation betrays. the likely outcome.

The Ravens will have to wait another week before getting Buchanan and Madubuike back on the field. Week 3 in Brazil is no guarantee given the additional travel demands. Neither has ramped up to full participation yet, but Baltimore has been planning these players' returns for months. Perhaps one or both advances quickly enough next week to make the trip, but a Week 4 debut feels like a more reasonable projection.

Head coach Jesse Minter has indicated that Tampa could be dealing with a multi-week absence after hurting his knee. He could even be a candidate for injured reserve based on his non-participation in practice all week. That would leave Baltimore short at outside cornerback with two more weeks until Bilhal Kone is eligible to come off injured reserve.
