Playoff football is finally back, as the Baltimore Ravens are set to take on the Houston Texans in the AFC Divisional round. With that being said the Raven seemingly will be without their star TE Mark Andrews. After going down in week 11 to an ankle injury, Andrews has not played since. This is a heavy loss to a dangerous Baltimore offense, but Lamar Jackson may be able to get it done without his TE. Hollywood News Daily is here with the full story.

Andrews’ Return
Going back to a Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, Andrews would suffer an ankle injury that would turn out to be a cracked fibula as well as damage to a ligament. It was originally thought to be season-ending, but Mark has been working hard to be able to return and help his team make a deep playoff run according to CBSsports.com. Andrews was officially listed as questionable for the game against the Texans, but Baltimore wants to play it safe and will wait to activate the big TE.
This season Mark Andrews caught 45 passes for 544 yards and 10 touchdowns. Isaiah Likely has stepped up in Andrews’ absence with 21 catches, 322 yards and 5 touchdowns. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh stated that Andrew’s status was “still up in the air” earlier in the week. Harbaugh was encouraged by Mark’s participation in practice, but it’s safer in the long run to keep him out one more game at least.
