BALTIMORE, MARYLAND — Three Baltimore Ravens offensive starters did not practice Thursday as the club prepared for Sunday’s Week 2 home opener against the New Orleans Saints.

Wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring), left tackle Ronnie Stanley (toe), and left guard John Simpson (groin) were listed out of Thursday’s session on the team’s official practice report. Head coach Jesse Minter has described Flowers as day to day after the hamstring issue that ended his night early in the Week 1 win at Indianapolis.

Rookie wide receiver Ja’Kobi Lane is on injured reserve with a wrist injury, leaving the receiver room short-handed if Flowers cannot play. The club schedule still lists the Saints for Sunday, Sept. 20, at 1 p.m. Eastern at M&T Bank Stadium.

Mid-Shore fans following the Ravens get a clearer injury picture two days before the first home regular-season kickoff of the year.
