Uncertainty about Mark Andrews emerged as the Chiefs and Ravens grind in the run-up to the AFC championship game. He suffered a horrendous ankle injury against the Cincinnati Bengals. Moreover, head coach John Harbaugh remained tight-lipped and became cryptic about tight end Andrews’ participation in the matchup against the Chiefs this Sunday.

During a face-off against the Bengals on November 16, linebacker Logan Wilson came in contact with Mark Andrews while trying to bring him down. Unfortunately, this resulted in Andrews suffering a cracked fibula. The head coach has been cryptic about whether Andrews can play in the game as the AFC championship matchups are underway.

Harbaugh refused to confirm Andrews’ status!

In the recent pre-live conference before the AFC championship, Ravens head coach Harbaugh side-stepped an essential question about Andrew’s status. The coach said, “Um, Mark practiced; he went through the whole practice, and, uh, we’ll just see how all those things go if guys are ready to go.” Andrews didn’t even play in the divisional round against the Houston Texans, which created uncertainty about his presence.

The incident occurred during the showdown against the Cincinnati Bengals when the TE suffered ligament damage in the right ankle. Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Wilson executed a hip drop to tackle Andrews during the game, leading to a heated controversy about banning hip-drop tackles. The linebacker stated he didn’t intend to hurt Andrew.

But the tight end chose to leave this decision to the authorities, saying, “It was just an unfortunate event. I’m just going to let everybody else do their thing. If they want to ban the tackle, okay.” He further stated that he didn’t blame Wilson for this act.

John Harbaugh might be skeptical about Andrews’ presence, but Lamar Jackson believes he will be there in the AFC Showdown.
