Mark Andrews Defends Value as Quiet Start Raises Questions in Baltimore

The veteran tight end points to his run blocking to explain the slow receiving numbers.

Overview

  • Through two games, Andrews has drawn limited targets and production despite Baltimore’s high point totals.
  • He has run 38 routes, ranking 24th among tight ends, according to ESPN’s Jamison Hensley.
  • In new remarks, Andrews stressed his contributions in the run game and heavier personnel usage after criticism of his receiving output.
  • Head coach John Harbaugh said Andrews and fellow tight end Charlie Kolar will be larger factors in the passing attack as the season moves forward.
  • Isaiah Likely remains out with a fractured foot and is expected back by late September, and with Andrews in a contract year, outside speculation about his role and future could grow.
