The Ravens should have two important pieces in place for Sunday night’s matchup with the Falcons, but their newest offensive lineman will have to wait another week.

Wide receiver Zay Flowers and cornerback Marlon Humphrey are both expected to play, while center Cam Jurgens is out for Week 5.

Flowers is dealing with a foot injury and is listed as questionable, but he is expected to suit up against Atlanta. That matters for a Baltimore offense that leans on his playmaking ability, and it clears up one of the biggest pregame questions before the Ravens kick off. The official inactive list will still provide the final word shortly before the game.
Humphrey also appears set to go despite managing both a hamstring injury and a calf injury. Sources say the veteran cornerback will be on the field Sunday night, though the way he moves early will be worth monitoring given the lower-body issues. Even so, his presence should give Baltimore’s secondary a lift against Atlanta’s passing game.
Jurgens, meanwhile, will not make his Ravens debut against the Falcons. Baltimore has not yet been able to get the newly acquired center into a game, and that wait continues for at least one more week. He is expected to debut next week on the road at Cleveland, giving the Ravens a clear target date for his first appearance and a little more time for him to settle in.

So Baltimore heads into Sunday night with Flowers and Humphrey expected to be available and Jurgens sidelined. The Ravens will be hoping both injured playmakers come through physically before turning their attention to the trip to Cleveland.

Ravens Need A New Plan To Keep Zay Flowers Dangerous Sunday Night
Zay Flowers has been one of the Ravens most dangerous weapons when Lamar Jackson is running the offense, the kind of receiver who can turn a quick touch into a chunk play and force defenses to adjust every layer of the field. With Jackson sidelined, though, Baltimore is asking rookie offensive coordinator Declan Doyle to keep the passing game on schedule in a very different setup, and the contrast in Flowers usage with Snoop Huntley has made the challenge impossible to ignore.
Against Atlanta on Sunday night, the Ravens need more than just a bigger target share for Flowers, they need a smarter plan to get him the ball in space and away from the kind of coverage that can bottle him up. Motion, quick-game touches and routes that let him work across the formation all figure to be part of the answer, because Baltimore cannot afford to let one of its most explosive playmakers drift into the background just when the offense needs him most.

Ravens May Be Turning To Teddye Buchanan At The Right Time
Teddye Buchanans role has started to grow at a time when the Ravens could use another steady presence in the middle of the defense. Linebackers coach Jesse Minter acknowledged the possibility of increasing Buchanans playing time as Baltimore works him back into the rotation with Roquan Smith and Trenton Simpson, a group the staff is trying to balance as it looks for the best version of the unit.
Buchanan has earned attention for his tackling, and that skill set feels especially relevant with the Atlanta Falcons and their run game on the horizon. Baltimore is exploring ways to get all three linebackers on the field in the weeks ahead, a sign that Buchanan may be entering the conversation just as the Ravens need more physicality and depth on defense.

Zay Flowers Update Leaves Ravens Fans Focused On One Bigger Concern
Zay Flowers remains a central part of Baltimores passing game heading into Week 5, even as his availability has been a concern for much of the early season. The rookie receiver is listed as questionable against the Falcons because of a foot injury, but he has still managed to top 300 receiving yards in limited snaps, a reminder of how much the Ravens have leaned on him when hes been on the field.
For a team already navigating injuries, the bigger issue is the shape of the offense around him. Lamar Jackson is sidelined, which leaves Baltimore searching for stability under center and puts more pressure on the receivers to help carry the load. Flowers status matters, but so does how effective he can be if the Ravens are forced to lean on a different rhythm and a different quarterback than the one they expected to build around. [Read more 🡒]
