Ravens' Mark Andrews to Miss Divisional-Round Matchup Against Texans
Backup Isaiah Likely Steps Up in Andrews' Absence, Aiming for AFC Championship Game Return
- Mark Andrews, the Baltimore Ravens' tight end, will not be playing in the divisional-round matchup against the Houston Texans due to an ankle injury.
- Andrews, a three-time Pro Bowler, has not played since suffering the injury on Nov. 16, but returned to practice last week and was a full participant this week.
- Despite his absence, the Ravens have won five of their six final regular season games, largely due to the performance of rookie Zay Flowers.
- Andrews' backup, Isaiah Likely, has led the Ravens with 322 yards and five touchdown catches in the six games without Andrews.
- Andrews hopes to return for the AFC Championship game, should the Ravens advance.
