Ravens WR Devontez Walker played just 17 snaps in Week 2 against the Saints, catching one of two targets for 47 yards, while WR Chris Moore played 32 snaps and WR LaJohntay Wester played 31 with WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) sidelined and WR Ja’Kobi Lane (wrist) on injured reserve. Offensive coordinator Declan Doyle said on Thursday that the team had a package of plays for Walker and added, “I am really happy with how he responded to his role, and just like throughout the year, guys’ roles change. They kind of earn those roles, and he’s an example of that.” Doyle also addressed passing on a third-and-1 in the fourth quarter instead of handing off to RB Derrick Henry, saying, “I am very aware that Derrick Henry’s on our roster. I love Derrick, and it really has to start with our run game. That’s the way our offense is.”
