The Saints travel to Baltimore to face the Ravens on Sunday. It will be the 2026 debut for running back Alvin Kamara and defensive end Cameron Jordan, as both have been ruled fully available. Saints head coach Kellen Moore says Kamara will split carries with Travis Etienne and Kendre Miller.
Wide receiver Chris Olave and edge rusher Chase Young are both questionable after being limited in the last two practices.
Ravens Pro Bowl receiver Zay Flowers returned to practice today but is doubtful to play with a hamstring injury. Flowers caught 150 yards and scored a touchdown against the Colts last week, and Moore says the Saints need to be ready for him.
