Ravens' Mark Andrews Involved in Car Crash, Did Not Suffer 'Any Apparent Injuries'

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews was involved in a car accident Wednesday morning in which he did not suffer "any apparent injuries," according to the team.

In a statement, Andrews called the accident "a great reminder about the importance of wearing seatbelts and remaining alert while driving a car."

The car accident occurred while Andrews was driving to the Ravens' practice facility in Baltimore County, Maryland.

Andrews was evaluated by medical staff at the training facility. He is "expected to return to practice in the coming days," the Ravens said.

Andrews was originally scheduled for a non-practice day Wednesday. He attended the Ravens' morning meetings after the accident, the team said.

Andrews is set to serve as a top target for quarterback Lamar Jackson once again following a 2023 campaign limited by an ankle injury the tight end suffered in Week 11.

That cracked fibula and an ankle ligament injury, suffered following a hip-drop tackle, caused Andrews to miss six regular-season games and one playoff contest during the Ravens' run to the AFC Championship Game.

When healthy, Andrews made 45 catches for 544 yards and six touchdowns in 10 appearances.

Andrews has totaled 381 receptions for 4,857 receiving yards and 40 touchdowns throughout his six seasons with the Ravens, which he has mostly spent catching passes from Jackson.

The three-time Pro Bowl tight end is now heading into the second season of the four-year, $56 million extension he and the Ravens agreed to in 2021.

The Ravens could decide to be cautious with managing Andrews' return to practice. The veteran tight end staying healthy this season will be key to Baltimore's hopes of winning a Super Bowl with Jackson.
