The Baltimore Ravens lost receivers Zay Flowers and rookie Ja'Kobi Lane to injuries during Sunday's opener against the Colts in Indianapolis.
Flowers was ruled out early in the opening quarter with a hamstring injury. Before exiting, he had caught five passes for 150 yards and a touchdown. He aggravated his left hamstring with about 5 1/2 minutes left in the first half after being tackled by Sauce Gardner following a 12-yard catch.
Lane left with a wrist injury in the first half. He had one catch for 11 yards in his NFL debut before exiting. It's unknown when he injured his wrist.
The injuries left Baltimore without its No. 1 wide receiver in Flowers and its No. 3 in Lane. The Ravens' only healthy active wide receivers remaining were Rashod Bateman, LaJohntay Wester, who is primarily a punt returner, and Chris Moore, who was elevated from the practice squad. Rookie fourth-round pick Elijah Sarratt and Devontez Walker, who has been dealing with a groin injury, were both inactive.
Flowers had recently missed two weeks with a hamstring injury before returning to practice last week. He was a full participant in Friday's practice and did not carry an injury designation into the Week 1 game. A month ago, Flowers signed a four-year, $140 million contract extension with Baltimore.
