OWINGS MILLS, MARYLAND — Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers returned to practice Friday but is doubtful to play Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, the club said in its injury report.

Left tackle Ronnie Stanley (toe), left guard John Simpson (groin), and outside linebacker Trey Hendrickson (finger) practiced in limited fashion and are questionable. The Ravens listed defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike, cornerback T.J. Tampa, and inside linebacker Teddye Buchanan as out.

Flowers left the season opener against Indianapolis with a hamstring injury after a strong first half. Head coach Jesse Minter has described Flowers as day to day while weighing long-term health. If Flowers sits, the club’s report notes Rashod Bateman would move into the top receiver role with LaJohntay Wester, Devontez Walker, Chris Moore, and rookie Elijah Sarratt available for more snaps.

Thursday’s report had Flowers, Stanley, and Simpson listed as not practicing. Friday’s update changes the participation picture ahead of the Week 2 home opener.
