In a post-game announcement, Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh delivered a grim update on star tight end Mark Andrews’ condition following the team’s significant Week 11 victory against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night.
According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, Harbaugh confirmed that Andrews sustained a season-ending ankle injury during the 34-20 triumph. The 28-year-old tight end exited the game in the first quarter and was unable to make a return.

This unfortunate development comes as a major blow to the 8-3 Ravens, a team vying for the top seed in the AFC. Andrews had been showcasing Pro Bowl-level performance throughout the season, hauling in 43 passes for 521 yards and six touchdowns before the Thursday night clash.
With Andrews sidelined for the remainder of the season, the Ravens will likely turn to second-year tight end Isaiah Likely to take on a more substantial role within the offensive lineup.
