What happened: Baltimore changed Flowers' status on Saturday after the receiver returned to practice earlier in the week. Flowers left the Ravens' Sept. 14 game with the same hamstring issue and had been listed doubtful a day earlier.

Why it matters: The late change forces Baltimore to reshuffle its receiver rotation less than 24 hours before kickoff in New Orleans. It also closes the door on a quick turnaround after Flowers returned to Ravens practice before Sunday.

By the numbers: Flowers exited Baltimore's Sept. 14 game with a hamstring injury, returned to practice on Sept. 18, was listed doubtful later that day and was ruled out on Sept. 19.

What to watch: Watch Baltimore's final inactive list Sunday for how it fills Flowers' snaps against New Orleans. The Ravens' next practice report will show whether he is back on the field after Week 2.
