Ravens' WR group takes hit as Flowers, Lane exit with injuries

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Baltimore Ravens lost receivers Zay Flowers and promising rookie Ja'Kobi Lane to injuries in Sunday's opener against the Colts. Flowers left with a hamstring injury and was ruled out early in the opening quarter. Before the injury, he was on his way to a career day, catching five passes for 150 yards and a touchdown. Lane left with a wrist injury in the first half. He had one catch for 11 yards in his NFL debut before exiting. The injuries meant Baltimore was without its No. 1 wide receiver in Flowers and its No. 3 in Lane. The Ravens' only healthy active wide receivers are: Rashod Bateman; LaJohntay Wester, who is primarily a punt returner; and Chris Moore, who was elevated from the practice squad. Baltimore had two wide receivers who were inactive: rookie fourth-round pick Elijah Sarratt and Devontez Walker, who has been dealing with a groin injury. It's unknown when Lane injured his wrist in the first half. Flowers aggravated a left hamstring injury with about 5 1/2 minutes left in the first half, grabbing his hamstring after he was tackled by Sauce Gardner following a 12-yard catch. 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 didn't receive an injury designation for the Week 1 game. A month ago, Flowers signed a four-year, $140 million contract extension with Baltimore.
