Ravens face Saints in home opener with key injuries ahead of game

The Baltimore Ravens host the New Orleans Saints in their home opener on September 20, 2026, aiming for a second consecutive win after defeating the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1. Injuries are impacting the Ravens, with Zay Flowers ruled out and Ronnie Stanley listed as questionable. The match will feature a focus on Ravens running back Derrick Henry matched against the Saints' run defense, especially after the Saints struggled against Jahmyr Gibbs in their previous game. Additionally, Ravens offensive tackle Carson Vinson may start in place of Stanley against defensive end Chase Young, who is expected to play despite a calf injury. Baltimore's secondary will need to contain Saints receiver Chris Olave as New Orleans turns to a high-volume passing attack.
