WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) has been downgraded to "out" for tomorrow's game against the New Orleans Saints. The Ravens

What happened: Flowers was downgraded with a hamstring issue ahead of Baltimore's scheduled game against New Orleans. The club promoted linebacker Carl Jones from the practice squad after placing cornerback T.J. Tampa on injured reserve.

Why it matters: Baltimore heads into the Saints matchup without Zay Flowers, trimming one option from the offense before kickoff. Tampa's move to injured reserve and Jones' elevation also reshape the roster on defense the same day.

What to watch: Watch Baltimore's final inactive list before kickoff and whether Jones is active against New Orleans. The game has not started yet.
