Ravens TE Mark Andrews practices for 1st time since car accident

Baltimore Ravens All-Pro tight end Mark Andrews practiced on Friday for the first time since an Aug. 14 car accident.

Andrews, 28, did not suffer any apparent injuries, according to the team, in the early morning collision as he was traveling to practice. Baltimore County police said two cars sustained heavy damage in the crash about 1.5 miles from the Ravens' training facility. No injuries were reported at the time.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh has been consistent in saying that Andrews did not have any serious injuries and that it was not a concern. Andrews is scheduled to speak with media members after practice Friday.

Baltimore opens the regular season on Thursday against the host Kansas City Chiefs.

Andrews is a three-time Pro Bowl selection and 2021 first-team All-Pro for the Ravens, who selected him in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft out of Oklahoma.

He has 381 catches for 4,857 yards and 40 touchdowns in 87 career games (42 starts). He missed the last six games in 2023 after suffering an ankle injury against the Cincinnati Bengals on Nov. 16. Andrews was hurt on a hip-drop tackle, which has since been banned by the NFL. He returned for the AFC Championship Game in January.
