The NFL season is in full swing. The teams are giving their all to secure victories. However, luck always plays a part in the game. Remember the situation with the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes on Thursday night’s game when they were missing two key players, resulting in a loss to the Detroit Lions?

Now, with Mark Andrews’ uncertain playing status for the Baltimore Ravens, a similar scenario could be on the horizon. According to recent reports, there may be both good and bad news in store for the Riptide Rush.

Mark Andrews, the Ravens’ tight end, is facing uncertainty regarding his availability for Baltimore’s season opener against Houston Texans this Sunday, as indicated in the official injury report released on Friday. Andrews has been contending with a quad injury, which caused him to miss six practices last week, extending into Monday. He did practice on a limited basis from Wednesday through Friday.

Despite Andrews expressing his well-being and eagerness to return to the field, head coach John Harbaugh has deferred to the injury report’s verdict. Harbaugh emphasized the delicate balance between a player’s desire to practice and the necessity of doing so. While the Ravens do possess additional receiving weapons to bolster their passing game, the absence of Andrews would still constitute a significant setback.
