Everything to know about the Baltimore Ravens' home opener against the New Orleans Saints.
The Baltimore Ravens are set for their home opener against the New Orleans Saints, as the team looks to move up to 2-0 to kick off the 2026 season.
In Week 1, the Ravens looked fast and dominant, but there were some issues. Head coach Jesse Minter pointed to the pre-snap penalties as an issue that needs to be corrected.
That said, Baltimore looks to be the better team on paper. However, anything can happen. Here is everything to know about the game.

Predictions
The Ravens looked like a strong team in Week 1, and that should carry over in a significant way for Week 2.
With quarterback Lamar Jackson looking good, along with running back Derrick Henry, expect the offense to heavily feature both. The wide receiver room is a bit dinged up, as Zay Flowers is likely not to play, and Ja'Kobi Lane is out.
Even with some sizable injuries, Baltimore should not struggle against a weaker Saints team.

More
As mentioned, the Ravens are currently dealing with some big injuries. Along with Flowers and Lane, the team could potentially lose both guard John Simpson and tackle Ronnie Stanley.
Additionally, outside linebacker Trey Hendrickson also has a significant injury. Should all three miss the game against the Saints, it will pose a big problem on both sides of the ball.
Despite the receiver injuries, Jackson spoke about his confidence in the current room, which features Rashod Bateman, Chris Moore, Devontez Walker, Elijah Sarratt, and LaJohntay Wester. The Ravens should have enough to get by, but there is also still a chance that Flowers may play.
Minter will make the final call, but Flowers missed practice this week, and it may be smarter to just sit him so he can fully heal.
Defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike and linebacker Teddye Buchanan have also been ruled out, pointing to both potentially making their 2026 debuts in Week 3.
