In 10 games played last season, Andrews caught 45 passes for 544 yards and six touchdowns. He missed six games due to a serious injury suffered during a Week 11 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, which NFL media reported as an ankle crack and ligament damage. The injury occurred during a play that is now illegal: the “hip-drop” tackle. Andrews returned for the AFC Championship matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, and caught two passes for 15 yards.
Coincidentally, the Ravens will open their 2024 season this Thursday night against the Chiefs, a rematch of what happened a year ago between the AFC’s top two teams.
