Mark Andrews Activated From IR, Likely To Be On Pitch Count

10 months ago

The Baltimore Ravens officially activated tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) from Injured Reserve on Friday, meaning he will be active for Sunday's AFC Championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Andrews hasn't played since he fractured his fibula and suffered ligament damage in his left ankle on Nov. 16 against the Cincinnati Bengals, but the 28-year-old Pro Bowl tight returned to practice last week and has been practicing in full. In Andrews' place, Isaiah Likely has broken out as one of quarterback Lamar Jackson's go-to targets, catching 23 passes for 356 yards and six touchdowns in seven games. There's no pass-catcher that Jackson trusts more than Andrews, though, but he'll probably be on a pitch count of some sort against KC, making him hard to trust for DFS fantasy lineups. Baltimore's offense isn't as dependent on Andrews as they've been in the past.
