Ravens set Sunday lineup: Zay Flowers and Marlon Humphrey active vs. Falcons as Andrew Vorhees sits

The Baltimore Ravens will have Zay Flowers and Marlon Humphrey available when they play the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night, according to an official injury-status update from the team. The decision is a key stability boost for both sides of the ball, with Flowers serving as a primary target in Baltimore’s passing game and Humphrey anchoring the secondary as one of the defense’s most experienced perimeter defenders.

The other notable development is on the Ravens’ offensive line. Andrew Vorhees has been ruled inactive with a foot injury, a move that forces a reshuffling inside the interior. The team’s release indicated that Emery Jones Jr. is in position to start at right guard in Vorhees’ absence, changing not just a roster spot but the way Baltimore’s line protection and run fits are configured at the snap.

For the Ravens offense, the right guard spot matters beyond the name on the depth chart. It affects how the line handles edge pressure, who seals at the point of attack, and how quickly the unit gets to its blocking assignments during passing downs. With Jones expected to step in, Baltimore will be watching how quickly he syncs with the rest of the front, especially in stunts and pressure looks that can stress the interior.

On defense, Humphrey’s return to the active list keeps Baltimore’s coverage plan intact. As a cornerback who can handle both man and match coverage responsibilities, Humphrey’s presence can influence the way the Ravens align to the Falcons’ routes across the middle and outside, including how they shade their safeties to support tackles in space.

Flowers, meanwhile, gives Baltimore a clear boost in its aerial attack. As the team’s top wide receiver, his availability keeps the passing-game hierarchy from thinning at a critical position. It also gives the Ravens more flexibility in route concepts, since a reliable target can help a quarterback anticipate leverage and timing, particularly in late-game situations.

The Ravens’ status update also emphasizes that these determinations are made at game time, so final availability can still be affected by last-minute factors during the day. For fans, the first quarter will be the clearest checkpoint, as Baltimore’s offensive line rotations and Humphrey’s early snaps will report how smoothly the changes are functioning against Atlanta’s game plan.

From a matchup standpoint, the combination of Flowers active and Humphrey active means Baltimore is entering the contest with its identity largely intact, even with Vorhees sidelined. The next phase to watch is whether Jones Jr. can hold up in the interior and whether the Ravens’ playcalling can keep pace with Falcons defensive pressures.

If Baltimore’s starters function at full strength in the early drives, the Ravens will have the platform to control both tempo and field position. If the interior protection takes time to settle, it could change down-and-distance tendencies and how aggressively Baltimore attacks the perimeter behind its receiver group. Either way, this Sunday night game has clear roster implications that start at the first snap.
