After missing two days with injuries, four key Ravens players returned for the team’s final practice before Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints.

But it’s unclear how many of them will suit up Sunday.

Left tackle Ronnie Stanley was the last offensive lineman to join the group as it prepared for practice, but he was in full uniform. He sat out Wednesday and Thursday with a toe injury and was listed as a limited participant Friday. He is questionable for the game. He would be important in protecting quarterback Lamar Jackson as he searches for targets with two receivers potentially out.

Jackson’s top target, wide receiver Zay Flowers, suffered a hamstring injury in the Week 1 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Flowers did not participate in the first two practices but was dressed and on the field Friday. He was limited and listed as doubtful.

The Ravens will already be without rookie receiver Ja’Kobi Lane, who was placed on injured reserve after undergoing wrist surgery and will miss at least a month.

Left guard John Simpson, who would be important in helping the run game get going, was dealing with a groin injury during the first two days of practice. He was one of the first linemen to hit the field Friday. Like Stanley, he was limited and is questionable for the game.

Outside linebacker Trey Hendrickson, the Ravens’ biggest signing of the offseason, worked out separately from the team for the first two days with a finger injury. He also returned to practice Friday in a limited capacity and is questionable for the game.

Cornerback T.J. Tampa remained missing after injuring his knee early in the Colts game. Head coach Jesse Minter ruled him out.

The Ravens also ruled out linebacker Teddye Buchanan, who is coming back from an ACL tear, and defensive lineman Nnamdi Madubuike, who is recovering from a neck injury.

Defensive end Calais Campbell, who took a rest day this week, safeties Jaylinn Hawkins (chest) and Keondre Jackson (shoulder), and wide receiver Devontez Walker (groin) were full participants and should be good for Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Saints saw four players return to full participation Friday: tight ends Oscar Delp (hamstring) and Juwan Johnson (illness), defensive lineman Davon Godchaux (rest) and defensive end Cameron Jordan (hamstring). Running back Alvin Kamara, who missed Week 1 with a knee injury, was a full participant all week.

The Saints have three players’ whose status is questionable for Sunday, including star wide receiver Chris Olave (hamstring), who had a big impact against the Detroit Lions, and defensive end Chase Young (calf), a former first-round pick. Defensive lineman Christen Miller (toe) is also questionable, while linebacker Isaiah Stalbird (shoulder) is doubtful and long snapper Zach Wood (calf) has been ruled out.
