Zay Flowers set the Ravens record for most catches in an NFL debut, but the rest of a vaunted receiving group struggled in the 25-9 win over the Houston Texans. “It wasn’t necessarily what none of us wanted," Odell Beckham Jr. said.

Humphrey, a Pro Bowler, underwent an operation in mid-August to address a lingering foot injury and hasn’t practiced since.

The Ravens have an undistinguished history when it comes to receivers, and that fact has caused fans angst for years. This year’s group acknowledges their own potential, but they know they still must go out and prove themselves.

Zay Flowers has been overlooked throughout his career, but heading into his rookie season, he has high expectations.

“I’m actually trying to keep them under the radar,” quarterback Lamar Jackson said, “but I feel like we got a great group of guys.”

The Ravens have made a habit lately of defying conventional prognostications. Here are 10 predictions anyway.

Only Mark Andrews and cornerback Marlon Humphrey missed practice on Monday.

“When he’s played,” DeCosta said, “he’s been a warrior. He’s played through injuries when he’s been able to. Very talented guy, great attitude. He’s a leader; I think he’s respected. I have a strong affinity for him, personally, and we’re very excited that he’s back.”

The Ravens also re-signed cornerback Kevon Seymour and defensive end Brent Urban, and placed cornerback Damarion “Pepe” Williams and outside linebacker Malik Hamm on injured reserve, the team announced Thursday.

The Ravens cut their roster to 53 players, but it is far from set.

Simpson said he came into Ravens training camp wondering if he was good enough to play in the NFL after he was released by the Raiders last season. On Saturday night, coach John Harbaugh named him the starter at left guard.

From Odell Beckham Jr.'s progress to Keaton Mitchell's speed, here’s what stood out to Baltimore Banner reporters.

The flashy first-round pick has been exactly as expected, but the undrafted tight end out of Nebraska has been a surprise.

Coach John Harbaugh said Humphrey's foot surgery was successful but did not commit to a timeline for the cornerback's return.
