The Baltimore Ravens
could have two important players back against the Dallas Cowboys, but they may have to wait until Sunday to settle their left tackle situation. Coach Jesse Minter sounded more optimistic Friday about wide receiver Zay Flowers and defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike than he did about Ronnie Stanley, according to the Baltimore Sun's Brian Wacker. Stanley’s status could remain uncertain until game time.Flowers missed Baltimore’s loss to New Orleans with a hamstring injury and was listed as not practicing Wednesday and Thursday. He caught five passes for 150 yards and a touchdown in the season opener before the injury forced him out. His return would give Lamar Jackson an explosive target against a Dallas secondary dealing with its
own injuries. Minter’s optimism is encouraging, though Flowers has yet to be cleared to play. Madubuike was listed as a full participant on both Wednesday and Thursday as he works back from a neck injury. He has not played in a game since September 2025. If he returns in Brazil, Baltimore would regain a proven interior pass rusher for a matchup with Dak Prescott.
Stanley was listed as not practicing on either day because of a toe injury. He played against the Saints but gave way to Carson Vinson in the fourth quarter. Baltimore may need to keep its left-tackle alternative ready until it makes a game-day decision.
The Ravens’ final injury designations will provide the next formal update. For now, Minter’s outlook suggests a possible boost at receiver and defensive tackle, with the greatest uncertainty remaining at left tackle.
