The Baltimore Ravens upgraded star wide receiver Zay Flowers to full participation on their second injury report of the 2026 NFL season.
Flowers, 25, was listed as as a limited participant on Wednesday with a hamstring injury. He previously dealt with a minor groin injury during training camp but was quickly back on the field. His upgrade should quell any concerns about his availability in Week 1.
Baltimore’s injury report was otherwise the same as Wednesday’s. Linebacker Teddye Buchanan (knee), defensive
tackle Nnamdi Madubuike (neck), and wide receiver Devontez Walker (groin) were all limited.
The Colts had five status changes on their Thursday injury report. Rookie safety A.J. Haulcy (ankle), depth tight end Drew Ogletree (neck), and backup center Sedrick Van Pran-Granger (illness) were all upgraded from limited to full participation. Quarterback Anthony Richardson (illness) was listed as a full participant, while defensive tackle Grover Stewart (rest) did not practice.
The only constant for Indianapolis was wide receiver Alec Pierce (heel), who remained limited as he works his way back to 100%. Head coach Shane Steichen said earlier in the week that he is expecting the 26-year-old to take the field on Sunday. However, if he is out of the picture, the Colts’ wide receiver corps will be led by Keenan Allen and Josh Downs with former Raven Laquon Treadwell elevated to the No. 3 role.
Neither Allen nor Downs particularly impressed in 2025; both averaged just 6.4 yards per target. But the former is still a crafty route-runner who will find the soft spots in zone coverage, and the latter can be a dangerous threat with the ball in his hands.
The Colts’ offense was one of the best in the league before Daniel Jones’ injuries last season, including a 38-point, 401-yard outburst against the Chargers’ Jesse Minter-led defense. Pierce had nine catches for 98 yards in that game, so his potential absence could make a difference on Sunday.
