The Ravens are missing a key piece of their defensive front for Sunday’s game against the Cowboys in Brazil. They will also have to replace their starting left tackle.
Following a walkthrough in Brazil, Nnamdi Madubuike has no game designation on Baltimore’s final injury report. After fully participating in practice this week, the defensive tackle is set to make his first appearance since last season’s neck injury, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. His return gives the Ravens another interior presence against a Dallas offense led by Dak Prescott.
Ronnie Stanley has been ruled out with a toe injury. He did not practice Wednesday or Thursday and was listed as a nonparticipant in Friday’s estimated report following Baltimore’s walk-through
in Rio. Carson Vinson is expected to make his first career start at left tackle, according to Jamison Hensley. Vinson replaced Stanley during the fourth quarter of last week’s loss to New Orleans; protecting Lamar Jackson for an entire game will be a bigger assignment.

Zay Flowers is questionable with a hamstring injury. He missed the Saints game and did not practice Wednesday or Thursday, but was listed as limited Friday. Because the Ravens held a walk-through, that participation level is an estimate rather than a measure of full-speed practice work.
Flowers’ availability matters beyond the depth chart. He caught five passes for 150 yards and a touchdown in the opener. Baltimore scored four touchdowns on five drives with him in that game, compared with three on 16 drives after he exited and during his absence against New Orleans. That split doesn't prove Flowers alone caused the drop, but it shows what the Ravens hope to regain if he plays.
