Ravens, Lamar Jackson will be without top player against Saints

The Baltimore Ravens will be without one of their best offensive weapons on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints .

The Ravens have downgraded wide receiver Zay Flowers to "out" against the Saints after originally listing him as "doubtful."

He's dealing with a hamstring injury after he exited the Ravens' Week 1 opener against the Indianapolis Colts . He caught five passes for 150 yards and a touchdown before leaving the game.

Flowers missed much of practice this week, so it's not surprising he's out for this game. However, it means that some of the Ravens' other wideouts, including Rashod Bateman and Devontez Walker , will have to step up in his place.

The same goes for tight end Mark Andrews , who finished last Sunday's game with six receptions for 49 yards.

The Ravens will also have to rely on their strong running game, led by running back Derrick Henry and quarterback Lamar Jackson . Henry finished last week's game with 24 carries for 144 yards and three touchdowns.

Kickoff for this Sunday's Ravens-Saints game from Baltimore will be at 1 p.m. ET on CBS. Spero Dedes and Adam Archuleta will have the call.
