2026 Week 4 Ravens Injury Update: Lamar Jackson and Zay Flowers Upgraded to Full Practice

Good news for Ravens fantasy managers: according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports), both quarterback Lamar Jackson and receiver Zay Flowers were upgraded from limited to full participants at Thursday's practice. Jackson is managing a back injury; Flowers has a hamstring injury that cost him Week 2 before he returned last week against the Cowboys.

Lamar Jackson

Full practice participation the day before a game is about as green a light as you can get. Jackson's back injury had him limited Wednesday, but coach Jesse Minter downplayed it as "something small" at that time — and Thursday's upgrade backs that up. Start him with confidence. Nothing in the source story suggests any lingering concern.

Zay Flowers

Flowers went from missing Week 2 entirely to returning last week, and now to a full practice Thursday. The hamstring is clearly trending in the right direction. He remains listed as questionable per the player data, so keep an eye on Friday's final injury report — but the upgrade is a strong sign. If he's active, he's in your lineup.

Mark Andrews

Andrews was already a full participant and stayed that way Thursday, per the story. No injury concern here heading into Week 4. With Jackson trending toward playing, Andrews is firmly in play.

Chris Moore

Moore (ankle) remained limited Thursday and is listed as questionable. If Flowers plays a full game, Moore's role shrinks anyway — he's a low-priority pickup or start regardless of his availability. Monitor but don't stress over it.

Durham Smythe

Smythe (heel) was upgraded to full Thursday alongside Jackson and Flowers. He's listed as questionable, but the upgrade is encouraging. Smythe is a blocking-first tight end — his fantasy relevance is minimal even if he plays, especially with Andrews healthy and Jackson expected to suit up.
