Rotowire
Hamilton tallied 13 tackles (seven solo) during the Ravens' 24-17 loss to the Saints on Sunday.
Hamilton played all but one of the Ravens' 68 defensive snaps during Sunday's loss, and he was much more involved in the second half, with 10 of his career-high 13 tackles coming over the final two quarters.

Smith is up to 19 total tackles through two regular-season games and is well on pace to reach the 100-tackle threshold for a fourth consecutive season and the eighth time in his 10-year NFL career. The Ravens' defense will have its hands full in a Week 3 tilt against the Cowboys in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.

Ravens' Trey Hendrickson: Ready to go for Week 2
Rotowire
Hendrickson (finger) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Hendrickson was able to manage just one limited practice this week due to a broken finger, but he'll be able to play through the injury Sunday while sporting a cast on the injured digit, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. While facing off against the team that drafted him in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft, the star edge rusher will be looking to secure his first sack as a member of the Ravens after being limited to just one solo tackle across 40 defensive snaps in a Week 1 win over the Colts.

Ravens' Trey Hendrickson: Expected to play with cast on hand
Rotowire
Hendrickson, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, is expected to play through a broken finger while wearing a cast on his hand, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Hendrickson was held out of the Ravens' first two practices of the week, but after logging a limited session Friday, he appears to be trending toward suiting up Sunday. After joining the Ravens on a four-year, $112 million deal in the offseason, Hendrickson had a quiet team debut in the Week 1 win over the Colts, finishing with just one solo tackle across 40 snaps.

Ravens' T.J. Tampa: Moved to IR
Rotowire
The Ravens placed Tampa (knee) on injured reserve Saturday.
Tampa was ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints due to his knee issue. The cornerback is the primary depth option for the Ravens' defense, meaning Chidobe Awuzie is now the primary backup if Marlon Humphrey or Nate Wiggins goes down with an injury. Tampa will now need to miss four games on IR before he is eligible to return to the active roster.

Ravens' Trey Hendrickson: Gets questionable tag for Week 2
Rotowire
Hendrickson (finger) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.
Hendrickson sat out for each of the first two practices of the week, but he was spotted at Friday's practice with two of his fingers wrapped in a session that he was limited in. The veteran pass rusher's official status may not be known until when the Ravens release their inactives list 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, though it would be a bit surprising to not see Hendrickson on the field for Baltimore's home opener. He logged one solo tackle and was credited with eight pressures in his Ravens debut against the Colts in a Week 1 win.

Ravens' Teddye Buchanan: Missing second straight game
Rotowire
Buchanan (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints.
Buchanan missed the Ravens' Week 1 win over the Colts as he continues to recover from the ACL tear he suffered in Week 12 of the 2025 season. The inside linebacker was once again limited in practice throughout the week. Buchanan did not start the regular season on IR, so the team likely expects to have the 23-year-old back by Week 4, at the latest, for a matchup against the Titans.

Ravens' Nnamdi Madubuike: Ruled out once again
Rotowire
Madubuike (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints.
Madubuike logged a trio of limited practices for a second consecutive week, but he'll remain out in Week 2. The defensive tackle is still recovering from a significant neck injury he sustained last September but should be ready to suit up in Week 3 or Week 4, given he wasn't placed on IR at the start of the regular season.

Ravens' Trey Hendrickson: Still not practicing Thursday
Rotowire
Hendrickson (finger) did not participate at practice Thursday.
Hendrickson was a surprise addition to Baltimore's injury report Wednesday, and now his status for Week 2 is up in the air. He'll probably have to practice in some capacity Friday to have any chance of being active Sunday versus the Saints.
Madubuike (neck) was a limited participant at the Ravens' practice Wednesday.
Madubuike was limited at practice throughout the entire week before he was ultimately unable to play during the team's 41-23 win over Indianapolis in Week 1. The defensive lineman is on the cusp of appearing in his first contest since suffering a neck injury last September, and he'll have two more opportunities to increase his participation and log a full practice before Sunday's contest against the Saints.

Rotowire
Buchanan (knee) was a limited participant at the Ravens' practice Wednesday.
Buchanan was unable to play Week 1 versus the Colts after logging three limited practices, and he appears to have picked up where he left off by opening the week with another limited session. The linebacker is working his way back from a torn ACL that he suffered in Week 12 of the 2025 campaign, and he'll have two more chances to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup with New Orleans.

Rotowire
Tampa has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Colts due to a knee injury, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Tampa went to the locker room late in the first quarter, and tests have revealed that his knee injury is severe enough for him to remain sidelined for the rest of Sunday's contest.

Ravens' Teddye Buchanan: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Buchanan (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts.
Buchanan logged three limited sessions in Week 1 but will ultimately fall short of a green light to play. The linebacker is still recovering from the ACL tear he suffered in Week 12 of the 2025 season. The Ravens are taking it very slowly with the starter, ensuring they mitigate all risk of further injury before Buchanan gets back on the field. With Buchanan out, Jay Higgins or Trenton Simpson will likely assume starting duties next to Roquan Smith.
